” CANNELLONI DI MELANZANE CON SPINACI”
I must admit that pictures for this recipe really suck. And on top of that, this “recipe” may seems to be very taste-less and boring.
You might be wrong on this latest point though. In fact, it was very fullfilling and enjoyable. So yeah, it’s not lasagna, of course, but it’s a healthy alternative and totally, utterly guilt-free!
INGREDIENTS
for 2 people
- 10 slices of a large aubergine
- 300ml of tomato sauce
- 300gr of ricotta cheese
- 500gr of spinach (defrosted and drained)

METHOD
- Grill the aubergine slices.
- Let them cool down
- In the meantime put the drained spinach into a large bowl
- Mix the spinach very well with the ricotta cheese, salt and pepper
- Take a spoonful of spinach mixture and place it on each slice of aubergine
