Ingredients

  • Fresh Egg Lasagna Sheets
  • Turkey breast mince
  • Baby Spinach
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Lemon Pepper seasoning
  • Chilli flakes
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Light smooth Ricotta cheese
  • Egg
  • Grana Padano cheese
  • Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce
  • Cottage Cheese
  • Light Shredded Cheese

Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey breast mince, chopped baby spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, chilli flakes (if using), and breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Add the light smooth ricotta cheese and crack in the egg.

  3. 3

    Using your hands, mix all the filling ingredients together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Grate the Grana Padano cheese into the filling mixture and mix it in.

  5. 5

    Take the fresh lasagna sheets and cut them in half crosswise.

  6. 6

    Spoon a portion of the filling onto one of the cut lasagna sheets and spread it out. Roll the sheet up tightly to form a cannelloni tube. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.

  7. 7

    Arrange the rolled cannelloni side-by-side in a baking dish.

  8. 8

    Pour the arrabbiata sauce over the top of the cannelloni.

  9. 9

    Dollop the cottage cheese over the sauce.

  10. 10

    Sprinkle the light shredded cheese evenly over the top.

  11. 11

    Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

  12. 12

    Bake in a preheated oven until the pasta is cooked and the filling is heated through. The social media post does not specify a temperature or time, but a standard bake would be around 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes covered, then uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  13. 13

    Once cooked, remove from the oven. Serve hot.
