To make sauce, sweat oil, onion and garlic in a saucepan for 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove herbs from sauce and process in a blender until smooth.
Drop the lasagne sheets into a pot of boiling water, a few sheets at a time, until they are soft and pliable. Drain and lay out between damp tea towels. Cover and set aside.
In a bowl combine the ricotta, goat’s cheese, drained spinach, nutmeg and seasoning.
Place a lasagne sheet onto workbench. Spoon about 50g of ricotta mix on top and lay the peppers, artichoke, tomatoes, and olives evenly on top. Gently roll into a cylinder.
Place into a lightly greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, so that cannelloni lay side by side.
Pour hot sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle the top with parmesan and dot with butter. Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve hot, scattered with basil leaves.
