Method

1.Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach. Place spinach, ricotta, eggs, egg yolk, parmesan, eggplant and garlic in a large bowl; stir to combine. Season.
2.Combine passata, cream and basil in a large jug; season.
3.Lightly oil a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker. Pour half the passata mixture over base of the cooker.
4.Spoon or pipe spinach mixture into cannelloni tubes; arrange cannelloni vertically in cooker. Top with remaining passata mixture; sprinkle with pizza cheese. Cook, covered, on low, for 4 hours.
5.Stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Passata is sieved tomato purée available from supermarkets. Cannelloni are large pasta tubes usually stuffed with a meat or cheese filling and baked. The name is also used for the finished dish. Firm ricotta cheese is available from supermarket delicatessens and cheese shops. It is not the same as the soft ricotta found in tubs in the dairy section.
