Spinach Ricotta Cheese Cannelloni - Stuffed Baked Pasta - youtube
I have not made this in a while and do not know why as it is delicious.
Cannelloni is a cylindrical type of lasagna generally served baked with a filling and covered by a sauce in Italian cuisine. Popular stuffings include spinach and ricotta or minced beef. The shells are then typically covered with tomato sauce.

For the filling
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
3/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
For assembly
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
12 manicotti shells
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
For the filling
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Place the sausage in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces.
Add the onions to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until onions are softened and sausage is browned and cooked through.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
Place the ricotta cheese, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the meat mixture to the ricotta mixture. Stir until well mixed.
For assembly
Cook the manicotti in salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes less than the package directions state. Drain and cool slightly.
Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the pan.
Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each manicotti with the meat and cheese mixture.
Arrange the manicotti in a single layer in the pan. Pour the rest of the sauce over the top.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
