CANNELONNI GENOVESE



Cannelonni Genovese image

A favorite from a local Italian restaurant, here is a group effort to duplicate the taste at home. It is the result of many conversations with the owner, whi was very reluctant to share his recipe but gladly answered questions about our technique and ingredients. It is a work in progress; thankfully each version has been tasty so far. At the time of this posting, Rosatella is not a recognized ingredient. You will need a batch of it to cover the stuffed canneloni.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, peeled and chopped
8 ounces spinach, chopped
16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 lbs ground veal
8 ounces ricotta cheese (1 cup)
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups Fontina cheese (about 1 lb)
2 cups mozzarella cheese (optional)
1/4 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and stir until limp but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add veal (breaking up) and wine cook to lightly browned ; cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer gently until veal is cooked. Add spinach and cook until soft.
  • Add ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, nutmeg, and salt to food processor; whirl until mixture is finely ground. You can also blend in the pan.
  • Stuff mixture into cannelloni shell. Alternately, you can use lasagna noodles and roll as you would a burrito or egg roll. I have also found that making pasta is rather easy. Roll the pasta dough out and cut in rectangles, 3x5 is a good size. Place a row of the filling down the center, fold long sides together.
  • In each of two shallow 9- by 13-inch baking dishes, spread a layer of the Rosatella Sauce over bottom to coat lightly. Set the cannelloni, seam down, in sauce, spacing equally. Carefully spoon the remaining sauce over cannelloni to coat well.
  • Scatter fontina (and mozerella) over cannelloni.
  • Bake cannelloni, uncovered, in a 375° oven until sauce is bubbling, cheese is melted, and filling is hot in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to plates with a wide spatula and spoon some of the sauce around each serving. Alternatively, bake in individual baking dishes.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley.

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).

  • Stuff the cannelloni carefully: Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the cannelloni with the ricotta and spinach filling. Avoid overstuffing them, as they may burst during baking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is a key component of this dish. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the filling, such as a tomato-based sauce or a creamy béchamel sauce.
