Steps to make Vegan Spinach and 'Ricotta' Cannelloni:
  1. Mix pasta ingredients to make a flaky dough…turn out onto floured surface and knead until a ball of smooth pasta dough is achieved (wet hands or sprinkle more flour as required if dough is too dry or too sticky)….rest the dough for 1⁄2 hour under damp tea towel…cut into manageable pieces and use pasta machine to roll pasta into lasagne sheets….cut sheets into squares and lay out for filling and rolling….Nb. only half of dough needed for this recipe. Store other half for other meals.
  2. Marinate crumbled tofu in onion, garlic, and lemon juice for 1 hour…blend cashews, yeast, yogurt and salt…lightly fry tofu mixture over light heat until onions are clear. Allow to cool slightly before combining with cashew mixture in a medium bowl….add shredded spinach and nutmeg…stir to combine…spoon filling onto the lasagne squares and roll them up.
  3. Saute chopped onion, garlic, and finely chopped silverbeet stems (if using) for 1-2 minutes….put a thin layer of passata sauce along bottom of a rectangular casserole dish…add remainder of passata to the onion mix…shake a bit of water in the jar to remove all sauce and add to frypan…simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Lay filled pasta rolls, seam side down, into the casserole dish and cover with tomato sauce…top with a sprinkling of vegan 'parmesan' and bake for 45 min at 180 degrees celcius.
  5. To make vegan parmesan blend all ingredients until a fine powder is achieved. Can store in a jar in the fridge or pantry for lifespan of nuts.

Cover the pan and leave the spinach to sweat and wilt down, stirring occasionally. In a blender, add the ricotta and the spinach and blitz until smooth (and the spinach is even mixed throughout the mix, so it's a nice green colour). Beat the egg in a medium bowl, add the parmesan or vegetarian alternative, then stir in the ricotta and spinach and season. Transfer the mixture to the piping bag and use to fill the cannelloni tubes. Lay the filled tubes in the baking dish.
