Brace yourself, I have come up with the BEST recipe that I’ve ever created to date. Chicken And Spinach Cannelloni Rolls. Seriously.
I could have taken my tried, tested and true Lasagna recipe and made a delicious meal for my family using the Olivieri Lasagna Sheets. Yet, I while I’m trying new things, why not keep try a whole new recipe? The following is a blend of my cannelloni recipe and a couple ingredients which I thought would make this new one stand out {like the Olivieri Rosé Sauce}.
For the moment, pretend I’m shaking you by the shoulders while screaming…
this Chicken And Spinach Cannelloni Rolls recipe is to DIE FOR!!
I don’t post recipes on here that I don’t think people will enjoy. I would recommend all the tasties found in the Recipe Box at My Organized Chaos, because I like them a ton.
Yet this one in particular? Not only have I told people to make it, but I have happily offered to make it for them just to ensure they they got a taste. Do you sense my excitement about these roll-ups? {insert jazz hands}
Hubby claimed my Chicken And Spinach Cannelloni Rolls are “better than I’ve ever gotten in an Italian restaurant” {blush}. The kids? I didn’t even notice them eating it so fast, until their plates were licked clean {really!}. We had enough for leftovers for the next night, and discovered they are even better warmed up. Then the day after that, I was tempted to make it again. #imayhaveaproblem
So that’s my Olivieri story, with a new recipe creation that I’m eagerly sharing with you.
I served this dish with Caesar salad and garlic toast and remember that you can make it in the morning and bake later. I’m pretty sure you could freeze as well, yet I’ll have to try that one time and let you know for sure.
Enjoy friends!

Ingredients
- 3 skinless boneless Chicken Breasts {cooked}
- 1 pkg ready made Lasagna Sheets
- 250 g Chopped Spinach Leaves
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 500 g fresh Ricotta Cheese
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1 jar Italian Pasta Sauce
- 1 300 ml Rose Sauce
- 1 cup Mozza or Cheddar Cheese {optional}
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Mince Chicken Breasts using a processor
-
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, or until tender.
-
Add chicken mince and cook for 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Set aside to cool.
-
Preheat over to 350°F
-
In a bowl combine Ricotta, chopped spinach and a pinch salt and pepper. Add chicken mixture to Ricotta mixture and blend well.
-
Cut lasagna sheets crossways so that each sheet makes 2.
-
Grease a deep baking dish and spread the Rose Sauce on the bottom. Add 1 cup pasta sauce on top of the Rose Sauce and blend just a little.
-
Take one pasta sheet and place approx.1/4 cup of filling along one edge of the pasta and roll.
-
Place {seam down} in the dish and repeat with remaining sheets.
-
Pour remaining Italian Pasta Sauce over the rolls and sprinkle cheese on top of sauce {I sprinkled a little of the mixture on top as well, since I had some left. That's optional though}
-
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until top bubbles. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Thanks for sharing with your FB fans as well, hugs and best weekend wishes!
nicolthepickle says
Mmmh, that looks amazing. So so good. I usually make my own pasta, but that looks much simpler.
Tammi says
good for you for making, I’ve never tried. The intent was always there, but time, energy … meh. Kudos to you though, that’s great!
Doris C says
Going to try this out looks good!!
Tammi says
I suggest you do, Doris – let me know what you think when you do!

Heather! says
Soooo pinned this! I don’t know if I will find Olivieri products around here, but I’ll look. Either way, I’ll give these a go!
Tammi says
Where are you Heather? I noticed that Walmart had a full stock and Sobeys had a few varieties. My closest grocer doesn’t carry them, but hopefully soon. Good thing I live in a small city though, going to another is usually the norm.
Thanks for pinning!
🙂
Heather! says
Ireland. LOL…I’m pretty well accustomed to having to adapt recipes I find online to use products I can find here. I’m sure I’ll figure something out! Who knows…maybe they are sold here?!
Christin says
Fresh lasagna sheets are sold at pretty much all large grocery stores in the UK, Heather. I get mine at either Morrisons or Sainsbury’s so if you’ve got one of those near, you’ll be able to find them no problem. They’re typically near the fresh made pizzas. Good luck and enjoy the meal! 🙂
Becky says

Tammi says
Becky – I crave!! In fact, I don’t have anything planned yet for tonights supper… hmmm

Deb Dorrington says
The picture is making my mouth water already…I too usually make my own Pasta but I have to say that I am going to try your recipe. I know my family will love as anything with chicken and past together will become a fave in our house and I thank you for sharing!
A.Smith says
What a great product and a really tasty recipe. I’ve always hated the chore of waiting for the water to boil, and then the pasta, and then draining, yada yada – so this skips all those steps and saves quite a bit of time.
Rebby says

I’ve seen these at the store, and have contemplated trying them, but always go for the dry out of fear I suppose. I’m glad someone reviewed these. I will definitely be picking some up… and your recipe sounds delicious!

Vesper says
Unfortunately I can’t get Olivieri Lasagna Sheets in my local store, the ones available are dry so unable to roll, and also I can’t get Cannelloni. Next time we get off the peninsula we will have to stock up on even more products
Tammi says
Hope you can get your hands on some, they are so handy for many recipes!
Chandra Christine O'Connor says
ive made this but used lasanga noodles and yes it is really good I may try it with the cannelloni ones they freeze so good too.
