Chicken, spinach and ricotta cannelloni

500g chicken mince or 2 breast fillets cut up really small.
400g fresh ricotta
as much or as little spinach as you wish, i used half a bag of coles baby spinach, bunched up and chopped.
1 large onion diced

1x700g jar of Passata (italian tomato sauce)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
teaspoon thyme and oregano
combined and mixed together into a large measuring jug or something.

1 box cannelloni tubes

in a saucepan, cook the chicken and onion together, until chicken is just cooked. remove from heat.
crumble in the ricotta cheese, mix, then add the spinach, mix.

in a lasanga tray or similar, pour about a cup of the sauce on the bottom.
now heres the fun bit - grab a cannelloni tube, using your hands/fingers, stuff it with the chicken mixture. do this over the chicken mixture pot, that way theres no waste when it spills out. place onto the tray. do this over and over until all done. pour the remaining sauce over the whole lot, top with parmesan cheese, bake at 190 for about an hour or until golden and cannelloni is soft if you were to stab something into it.
