Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted for about 2 minutes.
- Add chopped mushrooms and grated zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Transfer sautéed vegetables to a mixing bowl. Fold in ricotta, parmesan, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Return the skillet to medium heat, add more olive oil and garlic if desired. Stir in tomato passata and heavy cream, simmering for about 5 minutes.
- Fill the cannelloni tubes with the creamy vegetable mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
- Spread half of the tomato-cream sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place filled cannelloni on top, then pour the remaining sauce over them.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the cannelloni.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Let the Vegetable Cannelloni rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Ensure the filling is creamy but not too wet to prevent the pasta from breaking during baking.
