To make this spinach and ricotta cannelloni, you will need the following ingredients:

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooled spinach mixture to the bowl and mix well.
