There’s something magical about transforming a classic Italian dish into an elegant, perfectly portioned creation. These bite-sized spinach and ricotta cannelloni bring a touch of refinement to your dinner table while keeping all the comforting flavors you love.
What makes this version special is the clever preparation method – pre-cooked cannelloni are cut into bite-sized portions before filling, creating perfect individual servings that are both beautiful to look at and delightful to eat. Each piece stands proudly in a bed of rich tomato sauce, making this dish not just delicious but also visually stunning.
The filling is a classic combination of creamy ricotta and tender spinach, enhanced with a hint of nutmeg – a traditional Italian touch that elevates the entire dish. The homemade tomato sauce, simmered to perfection with sweet onions and a touch of sugar, creates a velvety base that complements the delicate filling perfectly.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or planning a special family meal, this dish offers both convenience and elegance. You can prepare it ahead of time, making it perfect for entertaining, and any leftovers are equally delicious the next day. For an even richer version, feel free to use leftover ragù sauce instead of the classic tomato sauce – both versions are absolutely delicious. Buon appetito!
