Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray heavy-bottomed fry pan with oil, brown mince and red pepper for a few minutes until mince is almost cooked. Add carrot, spinach, tomato paste, stock powder and water and cook for around 5 minutes. Add spring onion, pine nuts and feta and stir to combine; set aside to cool.
2 Make sauce by pureeing all ingredients together. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook lasagne sheets until they are flexible enough to roll (around 6-7 minutes); drain and run some cold water through to cool.
3 Pour a little of the sauce in the bottom of a large lasagne dish. Lay lasagne sheets on a large board and put a suitable amount of filling at one end, roll up and place in dish. Repeat to make 12 rolls.
4 Pour sauce over top then sprinkle with cheeses; bake for around 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve with a green salad.
Variations
Make a lasagne using the filling between lasagne sheets, together with a bit of the sauce. Reserve enough sauce for the top and finish with cheese and pine nuts.
HFG tip
- Pregrated cheeses can contain gluten, so be sure to check the ingredients if using.
- You can make this cannelloni in one large baking dish, or six individual dishes (as pictured).
