Spinach & Ricotta Canelloni?

One of DHs faves when we not on SW!

spinach and courgette soup. Very light, clear soup - a cranks recipe. Hang on a tick, I'll see if I can find it.

the curry sounds nice though Dino, thanks!

Twinkle, we are doing SW too, maybe Icould work out a SW friendly version...

It's dead handy for binding the veg in a veggie lasagne

i normally throw in some frozen spinach to any kind of curry i make (towards end, when adding eg coconut milk)

oh thats a brilliant idea and I can have that on SW!

What veg do you put in? do you add quorn?

(that was to round, btw, but thanks for idea about curry, really like curry)

Here we go.
1 onion, 1 courgette, 1 potato, 4oz spinach, 2pt veg stock, cream

Saute onion & courgette, add chopped potato, spinach and stock. Boil, simmer for 20 mins, liquidise. Add cream to taste, season.

I never bother with the cream, which is why I thought it was light and clear! Need a good veg stock as it's not a strongly flavoured soup!

if spinach soup tastes of nowt stick some grated/ powdered nutmeg in

Thnaks that looks nice and easy! will make this afternoon

cheers cappy i will, i have nutmeg

i bet a bit of grated parmesan is nice on top of that soup too

Ha ha - no is defo not good on slimming world!

You could do a ravioli though with it and then you wouldn't have to have white sauce and you could have a nice tomato sauce - got to make your own pasta though or get lasagne sheets cook them a bit and then stick together with filling inside. Just use cheese as healthy extra and sins.

Or do canelloni with the ricotta and spinach and then put tommy sauce over top with a sprinkling of v strong chedder so you don't need as much!

Yes nutmeg is vv important when eating spinach!

I'm a bit confused but if required my lasagne goes something like this:

fry onions, add peppers, mushrooms, courgettes, carrots, anything else you like, fry all together.

add paprika, pinch chilli, squirt tomato puree, random mixed herbs, large truckload of black pepper, shake of sugar and dash of lemon juice, crushed garlic and salt and mix through while frying over lower heat

add tin tomatoes and stir in spinach leaves.

layer with pasta sheets and bechamel, bake, voila

made up recipe but v yummy, sorry left-handed typing - bfing!
