Stuffed cannelloni are a first course that lends itself very well to various occasions, as they can be prepared with different fillings and however we like them. My favorites (perhaps because my mother used to prepare them), are certainly cannelloni stuffed with minced meat and béchamel, but you can add other ingredients, as you like, such as salami, egg, ham or prepare them with fillings completely different from the ragù, such as ricotta and spinach, with other types of vegetables, add béchamel ...

  2. Golden half onion (small - about 25 grams)
  3. 300 gminced meat
  4. 1 glasswhite wine

  8. 16cannelloni

  10. 3basil leaves
  11. 500 mlbechamel

Cooking Instructions

20 min + 35 min
  1. 1

    First, prepare a quick ragù with minced meat... The sauce does not have to be very thick, since cannelloni cook directly in the oven, so they need a more 'liquid' mixture to be able to cook and remain soft, thanks to the humidity that they will absorb...

  2. 2

    In a non-stick saucepan, over medium heat, fry the chopped onion and minced meat in the extra virgin olive oil, then deglaze with a glass of white wine.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato puree, salt and a few basil leaves, mix and as soon as it starts to boil, lower the heat; cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Leave to cool completely; meanwhile, set aside a little sauce for the base and cover (if you can, without the minced meat, for example, you can use a skimmer or put it in a colander, in order to separate the meat from the sauce).

  5. 5

    When the sauce is completely cooled, add the mozzarella, bechamel and mix well until you get a homogeneous and creamy mixture.

  6. 6

    Prepare a pan suitable for putting all the stuffed cannelloni in a single layer. Distribute a part of the sauce kept aside, on the base of the pan...

  7. 7

    Fill the cannelloni with the previously prepared mixture of sauce with ground and mozzarella(I help myself with a teaspoon), but to speed up, you can use a pastry bag with a large hole (the ground must pass through it, so check to avoid it getting stuck); put them in the baking dish or pan and distribute the remaining part of the sauce kept aside, until they are completely covered; sprinkle the stuffed cannelloni with lots of grated Parmesan cheese or Grana Padano.

  8. 8

    Cover the pan or oven dish with aluminum foil.

  9. 9

    Cooking: Ventilated oven at 180 ° for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil from the pan and cook for another 10-15 minutes at 180 °.

  10. 10

    The stuffed cannelloni are ready to be enjoyed. Enjoy your meal!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Tiziana, I am 34 years old and I am the mother 1 little girl who give me a lot to do; I work outside the home and it goes without saying that I love to cook; it's the only thing that relaxes me in my hectic days. I am Sicilian, but I have lived in Belgium for 5 years. First a year of maternity then the job crisis, they forced me at home for almost 2 and a half years, and so having a lot of time available, I dedicated myself a lot to cooking, I prepared practically everything in home. Married very young, I learned to cook by myself, a little from books, a little from mistakes, and some advice here and there between mother and mother-in-law, they brought me this far and I am very happy to have had this experience that I he introduced some wonderful people. I cook mostly for my family and friends; I love leavened products, especially savory ones; finger food, snacks and various rustic dishes; I am a traditionalist, even if every now and then I make variations to traditional dishes to adapt them to our tastes. For the most part, simple and quick recipes of a mother who is always in a hurry, but who does not give up on taste. 🙂 I hope to please you in sharing my recipes and that you like them; I apologize for the photos, but I'm not really capable 🙂
