Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup olive oil, or as needed
1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
salt to taste
½ cup white wine
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
½ cup white wine
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
12 cannelloni pasta shells

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil and saute ground beef with the onion, sage and rosemary; cook until meat is evenly browned and crumbly. Drain fat. Add salt and 1/2 cup white wine; cook until wine is evaporated. Set mixture aside.
  • To make the Bechamel sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir until well incorporated. Stir in milk and bring to a slow boil until mixture thickens. Remove sauce from the heat. In a steady stream, pour the bechamel in to the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly. Stir the sauce into the meat mixture. Stir in the cubed mozzarella.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and saute onion until soft and translucent. Add 1/2 cup white wine and let it cook down to evaporate; add stewed tomatoes and salt. Mix well; simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, a few at a time, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; using a slotted spoon, remove immediately to a pot filled with cold water. Lift pasta out with slotted spoon and arrange on a flat surface.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spoon a line of filling into each shell, starting from one end and using your finger to push the filling inside of each shell. Place cannelloni in prepared baking dish and cover with tomato sauce mixture.

BEEF CANNELLONI

This is easier than you think to make and is so delicious, make double and pop one in the freezer

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1kg lean minced beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 x 660g jars passata with basil
large pinch caster sugar
400g dried cannelloni tubes
50g butter
50g plain flour
600ml whole milk
140g soft cheese with garlic and herbs
140g parmesan, grated

Steps:

  • For the filling, dry-fry the beef in a non-stick pan on a medium-high heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon until browned - about 10 mins. Remove and set aside. Add the oil and cook the onion for 5 mins, until soft. Add the garlic for 1 min more, then tip in the beef and 1½ jars of the passata sauce and the sugar. Simmer for 20 mins while you make the white sauce.
  • Heat the butter in a small pan. When foaming, stir in the flour for 1 min. Add the milk gradually, stirring all the time to achieve a lump-free sauce, then bubble for 2 mins while stirring. Remove from the heat and stir in the soft cheese with seasoning until dissolved. Set aside, covered with cling film to stop a skin forming.
  • To assemble, pour the remaining tomato sauce into the base of 2-3 large baking dishes or 12 individual ovenproof dishes or foil containers. Spoon the beef into the cannelloni tubes using a teaspoon and lay on top of the sauce. Pour on the white sauce, then sprinkle with Parmesan. If freezing, allow to cool, then freeze wrapped well in cling film. To eat straight away, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for 40-45 mins until the pasta is tender and topping golden. Defrost frozen cannelloni thoroughly, then cook as above for 50 mins-55 mins (or see tip).

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup minced onion
½ cup minced celery
⅓ cup minced carrot
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces ground veal
12 ounces ground pork
12 ounces lean ground beef
½ cup white wine
1 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley
4 cups tomato sauce
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 pound fresh pasta sheets

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet. Add onion, celery, and carrot, and cook over moderate heat until softened. Add the garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add veal, pork, and beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink. Add wine, and reduce for 1 minute. Stir in broth. Add herbs, bay leaf, and salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover, and reduce until almost dry. Discard bay leaf. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan set over moderately low heat. Whisk in flour for approximately 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, grated nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parsley and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer the cooled meat mixture to a large bowl. Mix in egg yolks. Mix in the cheese and parsley sauce. Set aside.
  • Combine the tomato sauce and cream, set aside.
  • Cut the pasta sheets crosswise into 5 inch lengths. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles a few at a time until al dente. This should take only a minute or two with fresh pasta. Transfer to a bowl of cold water. Spread the noodles in one layer on paper towels to drain.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling down the center of one noodle, and roll the noodle to enclose the filing. Transfer the cannelloni, seam side down, to a well buttered gratin dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling, arranging in single layer. Ladle the tomato sauce over the cannelloni, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 10 minutes, or until bubbling. Run under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes, or until golden.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your cannelloni filling to add flavor and texture. I used carrots, celery, and onions, but you could also use spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the cannelloni. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Make sure the bechamel sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, it won't hold its shape in the oven.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in your béchamel sauce. I used a combination of Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses, but you could also use cheddar, Gruyère, or Fontina.
  • Serve the cannelloni immediately, or it will start to get soggy.

Conclusion:

Beef cannelloni is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. Impress your guests and family with a delicious and hearty Italian meal!
