Cannelloni with spinach and cottage cheese in tomato sauce

A hearty lunch, one of my favorite main dishes :)

Preparation steps

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Blanch and chop the chard (spinach). Heat the oil in a pan, add finely chopped garlic, onion and simmer for about 3-5 minutes until soft. When it softens, add a teaspoon of butter, blanched chard, beaten egg and season everything with salt, pepper, and stir and let it simmer for 2-3 times.
Immerse the cannelloni in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened, carefully remove them and prepare a pot of cold water and transfer them to cold water. Carefully remove, drain and sprinkle with olive oil.
Fill the cannelloni with two tablespoons of spinach and fresh ricotta cheese or cottage cheese as desired and roll up.
Tomato sauce:
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the finely chopped onion, garlic and simmer until soft. Mix tomatoes and peppers in a blender. Add mashed tomatoes, basil, parsley, rosemary, a tablespoon of olive oil and a mixture from a blender to the pan and season everything with salt, pepper, and stir and simmer gently until thickened.
Separate part of the sauce from the side, and pour part into an oiled refractory dish, arrange the cannelloni, pour the rest of the sauce over them, cover them with pieces of mozzarella and sprinkle with parmesan.
Bake at 220 degrees, about 20 - 25 minutes.

Asparagus risotto with shrimp

Asparagus and shrimp are not a rare combination, but fresh mint turns them into a whole new experience for all the senses.

Baked ricotta

A whey-based dairy product, specific to neighboring Italy, had no idea that due to its refreshing, creamy texture, mild taste and low caloric content, it would become an inevitable part of our summer diet. Oregano and thyme, olive oil and a few other ingredients will give the baked ricotta an irresistible taste.

Cannelloni

A layered combination of flavors for true gourmets! Hollow pasta rolls, cannelloni, are stuffed with meat filling with cheese and spring onions, and baked with tomato sauce. We warmly recommend it as a suggestion for dinner with friends!

Dumplings of greens

At one time, the people of Međimurje prepared famous events, the so-called štruklijade, and there are about fifty types of štruklji. The secret, of course, was in the stuffing. Modest leafy vegetables are so deliciously green from these strudels.

Homemade bread

Even if you don’t have to try a new dough mixer or bread maker, give yourself a breather and cheer up the household with bread baked in your home. Even if it fails flawlessly, its scent will be felt in your kitchen for a long time.

Leaf with olives and basil

The leaf is a culinary experience in itself, and with the sauce and spread of such contrasting colors and harmonious taste shades, it becomes a real celebration.

Macaroni on a needle

The people came up with everything! The kitchen is a particularly good field for practicing resourcefulness, and macaroons on a needle (or “spindle”) are a good example. By the way, under the name macaroni there are other forms, depending on the location.

Pasta with basil

Spices play an important role in Mediterranean cuisine, and basil in this simple dish. We enriched it with olive oil, grated cheese and garlic. Pesto, as it is called in Italy, is prepared in various ways, most often with pasta.
