Pasta for dinner. This is my recipe for cannelloni and tonight I used pork & veal mince but you can use chicken also.Saute one onion and 5-6 mushrooms in a pan with a knob of butter - then remove from pan when soft.

Choose a nice ricotta cheese...~
and fresh baby spinach - so happy to see this on the shelves at Woolworths - locally grown about 15 kms from my house! Their herbs are grown hydroponically and still have the roots attached.~
Add in the pork and veal mince (or use chicken mince) and a good teaspoon of chicken stock powder and some salt and pepper to taste and brown it all off...~
Add in the tub of ricotta cheese...~
...them add in the spinach leaves...~
The spinach wilts down so you can use a fair bit of it...~
I find the easiest way to stuff the shells is by letting the mixture cool slightly then put on a kitchen grade disposable rubber glove and just feed the mince mixture into the shells from one end. It took me less than 5 minutes to stuff them all.~
I arranged the cannelloni in a baking dish (spoon a little of the sauce in the bottom of the dish first - I forgot!)~
Top with your favourite pasta sauce - mine is Five Brothers Summer Tomato & Basil - then sprinkle with some grated, low fat cheese.~
Bake for approx. 45 minutes...~
... then enjoy. It was delicious!~
After dinner, I shined my sink. I have discovered the FlyLady site. Have a look and see what you think - there are some good hints and tips for organizing there that may just take the pressure off our day to day lives.~
Busy day today - I have a Bowen therapy appointment this morning then off to work until 1pm. My mum is having a new DVD/Hard drive installed so I have to take notes for her so she can use it (that will be a challenge for us both!) then I am off to MtG this afternoon for an appointment.
Have a nice day!
