To make cannelloni, we need:
Packaging of ready-made "Cannelloni"
Cottage cheese - 500 grams
Spinach - 500 grams
Milk - 1 liter
Butter - 100 grams
Chicken egg - 1 piece
Parmesan cheese - 100 grams
Flour - half a glass
First, let's prepare the Béchamel sauce
To do this, we need to boil a liter of milk, cool a little, add flour, butter and, on very low heat, with constant stirring, bring to the consistency of yogurt.
Then we prepare our mixture of curd and spinach. Cut the boiled spinach very finely and add to the curd, send the egg there. Salt, pepper and mix until smooth.
We fill our cannelloni (you do not need to boil it) with the resulting curd mixture, put it neatly in a deep baking sheet, after having greased it with oil, fill it with Béchamel sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. The Béchamel sauce should cover the stacked cannelloni.
We put the baking sheet in an already preheated oven and bake at 170 degrees for 20 minutes.
