The story
About the dish
Cannelloni (manicotti) con Ricotta, Zucchine e Spinaci alla Ligure is anchored by béchamel, ricotta, spinach, and zucchini. Gratinating it adds a browned, savory surface over the softer filling beneath. The profile moves from a clear, distinctive flavor of its own in béchamel, through soft, fresh dairy richness in ricotta, to a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness in spinach.
It opens a window onto resourceful cooking from the narrow meeting of mountain and sea, with herbs, olives, vegetables and preserved fish. Against that background, béchamel becomes especially expressive in the dish through a clear, distinctive flavor of its own.
