Instructions:

For the cannelloni with ricotta and spinach filling, prepare the bechamel sauce. To do this, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Bring the milk to the boil with the nutmeg, then gradually whisk it into the roux and season with salt. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, then set aside.

For the filling of the cannelloni, wash the spinach and drain well. Heat some olive oil in a saucepan and cook the spinach in it over high heat until it collapses. Then let it cool, squeeze it well and chop it finely with a knife. Mash the ricotta in a bowl with a fork and mix in the spinach.

Whisk the egg yolks and pour over the mixture. Then add half of the Parmigiano Reggiano and season with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients until they form a homogeneous mass.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish with butter. Spread a thin layer of bechamel sauce and a little Barilla Basilico Sauce in the dish.Fill the cannelloni with the spinach-ricotta mixture and place in the dish. Cover with bechamel sauce, pour the remaining Barillo Basilico Sauce and sprinkle with the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano.

Bake the cannelloni in the oven for 40 minutes. Arrange the finished cannelloni with ricotta on four plates, garnish with basil leaves, drizzle with a little olive oil and serve immediately.
