Pasta was WFD dinner tonight.
I grossly underestimate exactly how much my mom and sis love stuffed pasta. Mom’s eyes lit up when I suggested cannelloni or stuffed shells, and apparently we ate up all the julmon shells on my last trip, so cannelloni it was.
Stuffing of homemade ricotta (from the freezer, I didn’t make it tonight) and spinach. Marcella-inspired tomato sauce.
The cannelloni were HUGE. I had a good laugh after asking how many everyone would eat — mom declared TWO! Hahaha. I served her one cut into four pieces, and she only ate the last fourth because she has been so deprived of the things she loves to eat for a month, poor thing.
I stuffed another batch and froze them without sauce, like the shells a while back. Easy to pull one out and sauce it for mom when we are eating something meaty.
Also used some other paneer that was on its last legs with the spinach stems to make a small dish of baked pasta / deconstructed lasagna. That’s what I ate, to save the cannelloni for those who love it much more than I do
