First things first: the structure of the dish. The best versions I try are, naturally, made with homemade egg pasta, and this is an occasion where including a proportion of semolina flour is a very good idea: with such a soft, mild filling, the pasta needs to retain a bit of bite. Strangely enough, the dried tubes of cannelloni I remember from childhood seem to have disappeared from my local supermarket, though they are still available in larger stores.
Chard, nettles, turnip tops, cavolo nero and kale all work well. If you do use more robustly textured greens, cook them in salted water until tender, dunk in cold water, then drain very well before finely chopping. A good sprinkling of salt and a generous grating of nutmeg, which works so well with both ricotta and spinach, are completely non-negotiable. Because cannelloni are baked, they need a sauce, rather than just the drizzle of melted butter you can get away with in other filled pastas.
While in my opinion you can never have too much sauce, it cannot be denied that making two is double the work. We also like her commitment to crisp edges — surely the best bit of almost any gratin — and to this end would recommend not covering the pasta completely with passata. Adding extra parmesan at this point is between you and your waistband.

Everybody bow down and thank Holly for this treasure. This recipe wine and all is worth every effort. A beautiful meat and cheese canneloni.
I used sausage and ground beef. Would be good with spinach too. I prefer a bold tomato sauce and alot of it so added tomato paste and tomato sauce with some seasonings nearly doubling the sauce quantity. I also poured a cream cheese milk parmesan sauce on top. I strongly suggest looking at some of Marbalet's other recipes. So glad I found this one! Once the shells are cooked and cooled slit them length wise fill then place them seam side down in the dish.
Very easy and quick. Also can control amount of filling in each. Just thought I'd add that canneloni are pasta while mannecotti are a crepe based wrap. Two different tastes but equally delicious!
