Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Veggies

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place diced butternut squash, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and chopped walnuts on a baking tray. Drizzle generously with ÍON Cold-Pressed Walnut Oil, sprinkle ÍON Pizza & Pasta Mix, and season with salt and black pepper. Roast for about 30 minutes, until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 2: Make the Filling

Transfer the roasted veggies to a large mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese and baby spinach, stirring to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 3: Prepare the Tomato Sauce

In a pot, heat a drizzle of walnut oil and sauté diced onion, grated carrot, and sliced celery until softened. Add chopped tomatoes, water, salt, pepper, and 1 Tbsp ÍON Pizza & Pasta Mix. Let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes until thickened and flavours are well-blended.

Step 4: Assemble the Cannelloni

In a pot of boiling water, soften 4 lasagna sheets at a time for about 2 minutes. Place a spoonful of the veggie-ricotta filling on each sheet and roll into a tube. Arrange the cannelloni in a baking dish over a layer of tomato sauce. Pour the remaining sauce on top, sprinkle with mozzarella, drizzle with ÍON Cold-Pressed Walnut Oil, and add a final sprinkle of ÍON Pizza & Pasta Organic Mix.
