Did you see this? Mum had silverbeet in her garden that needed using so I'm reinventing spinach & ricotta cannelloni.
So far I have sweated off chopped onion, garlic and silverbeet, a handful of sunflower seeds & seasoned with s&p, oregano & parsley. When it's a bit cooler I'm going to add cottage cheese with chives, grated cheese & an egg yolk or 2.
I'll fill the cannelloni with this mix, lay them in a baking dish & pour chopped tomatoes over. Sprinkle over a bit more cheese & bake at 200C for about 30 min.
This is probably what I would do too, though I usually have some mince with mine

Not much help, but I always make the one of the back of the San Remo packet..Its nice.Has egg in it too, though, I think from memory.You could always just try it without the egg...

If I didn't have eggs, I would just do the onion and garlic thing, mix in the thawed out spinach, squeezing out as much water as possible and mix in some tomato paste to bind it.Stuff the tubes and pour the pasta sauce over the top and grate cheese over the top.If you have cream that is good but you can go without it, and if you don't have parmesan any other cheese is good.Will still taste nice.If you don't have tomato paste you could probaby leave that out too, it will just not be as firm.

And cottage cheese is just a cheaper alternative to Ricotta.Ricotta is a lot nicer.
