QUICKLY PREPARED CANNELLONI ON A BUDGET

1.Box of cannelloni..24 tubes ( dried instant )    $1.95
1. Tub of ricotta cheese ....1 kg ...$8.35
1. Bag of mixed lettuce leaves ....200gm ...$3.00
2. Soup ladels of condensed soup of your choice ....1  small tin will suffice ....$1.00
1. Jar of chunky passata ...$1.95
1 packet of grated parmesan .....95 c

I mixed the ricotta in a large bowl with the torn lettuce leaves along with 2 ladels of soup concentrate  ( I used 2 soup ladels of the cabbage soup I had prepared earlier , as it is thick and hearty )
Using your cleaned hands and  fingers fill the ricotta tubes .
Place them in a prepared pan sprayed with cooking oil ....
Spray the first layer of filled tubes with cooking spray and repeat till all tubes are filled .
Then pour over the jar of tomato passata , sprinkle with grated parmesan .
Bake for 50  minutes in an oven that has been preheated to 180 deg C ...
So what to serve it with ?
1x pack of thick cut chips with skin on  $3.00....place them on a tray for the last 30 minutes of cooking ....or just serve the cannelloni with a simple green leaf salad .
Either way your total for a  filling home made meal for 4  to 6 .... with a side serve of salad is $17 50
