Handmade Pasta, Spinach & Ricotta Handmade Cannelloni, 1kg

Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni is 1kg of handmade cannelloni filled with spinach and ricotta — the baked pasta dish that has anchored Italian Sunday lunches and family celebrations for generations. Spinach ricotta cannelloni is the definitive Italian baked pasta. As a result, the handmade pasta tubes produce a cannelloni of considerably more delicate texture than the dried tube version. Furthermore, the freshly made pasta absorbs sauce during baking and produces a much more tender result. In particular, at 1kg this provides a generous baked pasta for four to six people and suits weekend entertaining or a family gathering.

About Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni

These handmade fresh pasta products come from a specialist Italian producer making filled pasta by hand using traditional techniques. In particular, handmade pasta has a texture and thickness that only a skilled pasta maker can achieve — thin enough to cook quickly yet robust enough to hold a generous filling. As a result, each pasta shape provides a completely different eating experience from the dried stuffed pasta sold in supermarkets. Furthermore, the fillings use genuinely high-quality ingredients rather than the stabilisers that extend shelf life in factory products. However, fresh pasta has a shorter shelf life than dried. Always cook within the use-by date on the packaging. In particular, the larger 1kg formats suit catering and entertaining where a more generous quantity is needed. Additionally, all formats freeze well and can be cooked directly from frozen with just 2 extra minutes of cooking time. That combination of genuine craft and quality ingredients defines every pasta in this range. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni From Us

Cooking handmade fresh pasta well requires a little more care than cooking dried pasta. In contrast to dried pasta, fresh pasta cooks in 3 to 4 minutes and can become soft quickly if overcooked. As a result, always taste the pasta from 2 minutes of cooking to find the correct moment. Furthermore, use a generous amount of well-salted boiling water and cook at a rolling boil rather than a gentle simmer. However, handle the pasta gently when stirring to avoid breaking the seals and releasing the filling into the water. In particular, dress the cooked pasta with a sauce that complements the filling rather than overwhelming it. Moreover, a simple butter and sage sauce suits almost every stuffed pasta filling as it allows the filling flavour to remain the focus. Additionally, always reserve a cup of pasta water before draining as it helps emulsify the butter sauce. That gentle approach — well-salted water, careful stirring, complementary sauce — produces the finest result from any handmade pasta.

How to Cook Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni

To get the very best from it:

• Place in a lightly buttered ovenproof dish and cover generously with béchamel and/or tomato sauce.
• Bake at 180°C for 25 to 30 minutes from fresh, or 35 to 40 minutes from frozen, until bubbling and golden at the top.
• Furthermore, allow the cannelloni to rest for 5 minutes before serving as the filling sets slightly and portions more cleanly.
• Additionally, a simple Parmigiano gratin on top is all the embellishment this cannelloni needs.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Good béchamel and tomato sauce — both essential for the classic preparation
• Parmigiano Reggiano gratinéed over the top for a golden, bubbling finish
• A simple green salad alongside to cut through the richness
• A glass of Chianti Classico, Barbera or a Montepulciano alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown on the packaging. Furthermore, these freeze well — freeze on the day of delivery if not using immediately. However, cook from frozen with 2 extra minutes of cooking time rather than defrosting. Delivered fresh and ready to cook.

However you serve it, Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni brings a quality and flavour that only carefully made artisan food can deliver. Moreover, the finest prepared foods always reward a good sauce and the best possible accompaniments.
