Steps:
- Heat the grill to high and cook the meatballs for 12-15 mins on a baking tray or following pack instructions. Cut each one in half and set aside.
- Tip the spinach into a large colander over the sink. Pour boiling water over to wilt it and leave to drain thoroughly. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out any excess liquid and chop finely. Mix the spinach with the pesto, ricotta, egg and nutmeg, then season to taste.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Pour the passata over the bottom of an ovenproof dish and stir in the garlic. Divide the spinach mixture between the pancakes, spreading it out in a long strip in the centre. Add meatball pieces to each one, then roll the pancake up to seal in the filling. Lay the stuffed pancakes on the passata base and top with the mozzarella. Bake for 30 mins until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Scatter over basil leaves to serve.

PANCAKE CANNELLONI
Delia Smith said on one of her shows that it is traditional in some parts of Italy to make stuffed cannelloni with pancakes instead of pasta. All you need are some crepes (which can be made ahead of time and frozen until needed) and some of your favourite bolognaise sauce. I would use a thick and chunky one, with lots of meat and vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200C or 400 degrees F.
- Make the béchamel sauce by the all-in-one method.
- That means to add everything (except the mozzarella) to a saucepan and whisk over a medium heat till smooth and thickened.
- Continue to cook gently for 5 minutes, whisking now and then to prevent it sticking.
- Now lay the pancakes out and place an equal quantity (about 1 heaped tbsp) of cold bolognese sauce on each one and roll it up, folding in the edges.
- Next lay the pancakes in an ovenproof dish side by side with the ends tucked up underneath.
- Sprinkle over the grated mozzarella.
- Pour the bechamel sauce over the top to give an even covering.
- Finally sprinkle over the grated parmesan and oil and place the dish on a high shelf in the oven for 30 minutes or until the surface is golden and the sauce bubbling.
