SPINACH BEEF CANNELLONI (MANICOTTI)
Recipe video above. You will love how flavourful the juicy beef filling and sauce is! Too many recipes disappoint by using plain canned tomato - the sauce needs flavour! It will seem like there's a lot of sauce (and there is) and that it's too thin (and it is!) BUT you need it because the cannelloni sucks up a lot when it's cooking!!! Serves 4 very hungry people, 5 normal people.

Steps:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and cook until it softens and is translucent, 5-8 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, another 30-60 seconds.
- Add the celery and carrot along with the salt and pepper and continue to cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, sugar and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered breaking up the tomatoes as the sauce cooks.
- Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaf.
- Cool the sauce slightly, then transfer the sauce to a blender (work in batches, if needed) and process until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 3/4 cup of the prepared sauce in the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef and onion. Cook, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the meat is browned and the onion is soft. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- While the beef is cooling, mix the ricotta, one cup of the Mozzarella, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the parsley, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. When the beef mixture has cooled slightly stir it into the cheese mixture.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously. Add the manicotti and cook until it is softened, but still firm to the bite, about 6 minutes. Remove the manicotti from the water and transfer to a baking sheet to cool off.
- Transfer the meat and cheese mixture to a large ziplock bag. Cut off the corner. Squeeze the mixture into the manicotti and place the stuffed pasta in the baking dish in a single layer. Spread the remaining sauce over the top of the pasta. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan over the top. Dot with the butter pieces.
- Bake the manicotti, uncovered, until it is heated through and the sauce is bubbling and hot, about 35 minutes.
- Let the manicotti sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini and yellow squash, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the squash softens but is not mushy, about 4 minutes. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and let cool.
- Add the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the cooled vegetables. Stir to combine.
- For the tomato sauce: In a food processor, pulse the tomatoes with their juices until they are coarsely ground or chop the tomatoes by hand. Transfer them to a bowl, add the salt and pepper, then stir in the basil.
- For the manicotti: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
- Transfer the filling mixture to a large resealable plastic bag. Snip a large hole out of one corner of the bag with scissors and use the bag to pipe the mixture into the cooked manicotti shells.
- Spread about 1 cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place the manicotti shells into the baking dish. Spread the remaining sauce over the manicotti. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. Saute garlic for 1 minute and stir in ground beef. Cook until well browned and crumbled. Season with salt and set aside to cool.
- Cook spinach according to package directions. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add manicotti shells and parboil for half of the time recommended on the package. Drain and cover with cool water to stop the cooking process and prevent the shells from cracking.
- To the ground beef mixture add the cooked spinach and ricotta cheese. When the mixture is cool, add the beaten eggs. Spread 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Gently drain the manicotti shells and carefully stuff each one with the meat and cheese mixture; place shells in prepared dish. Lightly cover the dish with plastic wrap or a clean, damp towel to prevent shells from cracking.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare the white sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and chicken bouillon. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble. Stir in half and half and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Pour or ladle the sauce evenly over the stuffed shells.
- Stir the basil into the remaining spaghetti sauce. Carefully pour or ladle spaghetti sauce over the white sauce, trying to layer the sauces without mixing.
- Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, uncover and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes more.
