These creamy spinach and basil cannelloni are what dreams are made of. The flavours literally explode in your mouth. You know I love to make comfort food super nourishing, and I think we really took it to the next level this time! I made a spicy tomato sauce, and the combo of heat with the creamy and fragrant filling was excellent. Let me know if you need some tomato sauce recipes (spicy or not!) or if you’ve got that one covered.

Instructions

Step 1

Soak the cashews overnight or for 30 minutes in boiling water.

Step 2

To a blender, add the butter beans, nutritional yeast, oat milk, cashew, garlic powder, salt, spinach and basil. Blend on high speed until perfectly smooth. Transfer the filling to a piping bag.

Step 3

Spread a bit of tomato sauce to the bottom of an oven-safe dish.

Step 4

Fill up the cannelloni tubes using the piping bag. Spread on top of the tomato sauce.

Step 5

Cover the cannelloni with tomato sauce (generously).

Step 6

Put in the oven, and cook according to the pasta packet instructions (mine took about 30 minutes to cook)

Step 7

Take out of the oven, and sprinkle with dairy-free parmesan. I love to serve it with a simple rocket side salad dressed in olive oil. Enjoy
