Spinach-And-Blue-Cheese Cannelloni

Submitted by Is This Really Nece

"The combination of spinach, blue cheese, and mint works out well. Serve with a tomato salad. Instead of the fresh lasagne leaves, dried ones can be used as well; in that case, pre-cook them as long as is necessary to be able to roll them, but as short as possible."
