  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 100 grams
  • Parmesan cheese (grated) - 30 grams
  • Egg - 1 large
  • Almond flour - 50 grams
  • Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg - a pinch
  • Tomato sauce (sugar-free) - 100 grams

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
  5. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  6. Using a spoon, fill each cannelloni tube with the spinach and ricotta mixture. Place them in the baking dish on top of the tomato sauce.
  7. Once all the cannelloni are filled and arranged, pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni!
