Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium to high flame.

Add chopped garlic and sauté until the raw flavor goes away.

Add thyme (or basil/oregano) and sauté lightly.

Add tomato puree (chunky or pasty) and stir well.

Season with salt, black pepper, sugar, and white vinegar.

Let the sauce boil for around 7-8 minutes on medium flame.

Set the tomato sauce aside once done.

Blanch lasagna sheets until plump if using them instead of cannelloni tubes.

In a bowl, mix blanched and chopped spinach, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and processed cheese to make the filling.

Lay out the lasagna sheets and add spoonfuls of the filling.

Roll the sheets like a thick cigar to form cannelloni rolls.

In a baking dish, start assembling by adding a layer of tomato sauce, then some extra cottage cheese, and the remaining filling.

Place the cannelloni rolls in the dish and top with melted cheese.

Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes.
