I really like spinach and ricotta cannelloni which I’ve made a few times but I wanted to try something a bit different so I thought of using aubergine with the spinach and ricotta mix and then baking it. This recipe does take a while to make and involves a few processes but it’s worth the wait yummmmmmy.<\/p>\n

    1. 1. Start by making the sauce. Add a good gulg of olive oil to a saucepan and let it heat up add the onion and garlic fry until soft then add the chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, herbs and leave to simmer.<\/li>\t\t\t\t

    3. 3. Add some flour in plate. Thinly slice the aubergine and coat the aubergine in the flour. In a large frying pan heat up some olive oil and add the coated aubergine fry until slightly cooked. Repeat until all the aubergines are cooked.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    4. 4. Check on the spinach and make sure any water is burnt off, switch it off and leave to cool then mix in the tub of ricotta cheese.<\/li>\t\t\t\t

      Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
