cannelloni

- VEGE, vegan optional

I got this from my mum, who never uses a recipe or makes the same thing twice, but here's the basic meal that's quick and easy, but can be adapted to be a bit fancier.

ingredients:
-1 pack frozen spinach
-1 container of vegan cream cheese (or milky cream cheese or ricotta or something)
- 1 heaped teaspoon of garlic
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable salt/stock
-1 pack of cannelloni pasta
-1 jar of tomato pasta sauce
oil
method:
thaw the spinach in the microwave. On a frypan, heat the garlic in oil, then add spinach, stock and cream cheese. Once warm and evenly mixed, remove from heat and stuff into the pasta (this can either be done with a spoon, or by filling a freezer bag with the spinach mixture, then cutting a small hole in the corner of the bag and squeezing the mixture into the pasta - both are as messy as each other).
pour a small amount of pasta sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish and line the filled pasta shells in the dish. then cover with more tomato sauce and place in the oven. my oven doesn't really work, but i think it's about 200 degrees C for about 45 minutes.

variations:
-broccoli, carrot or zucchini can be chopped/mashed and added to the mixture.
-cover the top of the dish with cheese or creamy white sauce (flour and milk/soy milk heated).
