Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced.
- Grease a 4cm-deep, 20cm x 23cm (base) metal baking dish. Spread pasta sauce (500g jar gluten-free red wine and garlic pasta sauce) evenly over base of dish.
- Place salad mix (80g broccoli leaf, spinach and beet leaves salad mix (see notes)) in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 1 minute 30 seconds or until wilted. Cool for 5 minutes. Roughly chop. Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, cut 1 side of zucchini (4 large zucchini, trimmed) from top to bottom into long ribbons until you reach the core. Turn zucchini over. Continue cutting zucchini into ribbons until about 1cm of core is left. Discard core. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
- Place ricotta (450g fresh ricotta), egg yolk (1 egg yolk), garlic (1 garlic clove, crushed), lemon rind (1 tsp finely grated lemon rind), basil (1/4 cup finely shredded fresh basil leaves, plus extra leaves to serve) and chopped leaves in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Using the wide zucchini ribbons, layer 4 ribbons on a work surface slightly overlapping (see notes). Place 2 level tablespoons of ricotta mixture along short end closest to you. Roll up to enclose filling. Place, seam-side down, over sauce in dish. Repeat with remaining zucchini ribbons and ricotta mixture to make 12 cannelloni.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella (1/4 cup grated Devondale Mozzarella Cheese Block (500g)) and parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese (2 tbsp finely grated parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese))). Spray with oil (Olive oil cooking spray). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with extra basil leaves and serve with salad leaves (Salad leaves, to serve).
