- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2/3 cup finely grated parmesan
- 4 fresh lasagne sheets
- 1 cup grated mozzarella

- 2 baby cucumbers, quartered lengthways
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup small fresh basil leaves, plus extra to serve
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Method
- Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Lightly grease a 5cm-deep, 20cm x 32cm rectangular baking dish. Place soup in a large jug. Add 3/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour half the soup mixture into prepared dish, spreading evenly over base.
- Place spinach in a sieve set over a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, press spinach to drain excess liquid. Place ricotta, spinach, chopped basil and half the parmesan in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Cut each lasagne pasta sheet in half crossways.
- Place 1/2 cup ricotta mixture along 1 long edge of 1 piece of pasta. Roll up to enclose filling. Place in prepared dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining ricotta mixture and pieces of pasta. Spoon remaining soup mixture over cannelloni. Cover with foil. Bake for 50 minutes.
- Increase oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Remove foil from cannelloni. Sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining parmesan. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until cheese is golden and melted
- Place lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion and basil leaves in a serving bowl. Toss to combine. Whisk oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad. Sprinkle cannelloni with extra basil leaves and serve with salad.
