Ingredients:
Fresh pasta
Italian cheese filling, see recipe elsewhere
1 lb cleaned and stemmed spinach
1 oz olive oil
1 Tbs garlic, chopped
1/2 finely chopped anchovy
12 oz Alfredo sauce, infused with sun dried tomatoes
Instructions:
Prepare spinach: heat olive oil and toast garlic. Add the anchovy and spinach then lower the heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes and transfer to a sheet tray to cool.

Drain excess moisture from cooled spinach and chop roughly into 1/2" pieces.

Mix cooled, chopped spinach with 8 oz of Italian cheese filling.

Cut the rolled pasta into 4" X 5" sheets.

Fill each pasta sheet with 2 oz of the filling and roll into a cylinder with the fold on the bottom.

Butter a baking dish that will hold canneloni in one layer. Place canneloni inside and cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F in a water bath or until a 165°F internal temperature is reached.

Serve 2 canneloni with about 3 oz of Alfredo sauce. Garnish with some fresh basil, and, optionally sun dried tomatoes.
