How To Make cheese cannelloni
-
Step 1I made a butter tomato sauce, recipe from Chef Andy Anderson, recipe is here: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/sauce-essentials-hazan-s-butter-tomato-sauce.html And the first thing I did was to make the sauce. If you are using a jarred or canned sauce, just proceed with the next step.
-
Step 2Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), get out a 9x13 inch baking dish.
-
Step 3To a mixing bowl, add the Filling ingredients, and mix together.
-
Step 4In another mixing bowl, add the pasta sauce then add ⅓ cup water and mix together. Scoop out ½ cup sauce and add to the bottom of the baking pan, spread out evenly by gently shaking the pan.
-
Step 5Add the filling mixture to a piping bag or a zip lock bag with a corner cut off, fill each cannelloni tube, and place in the pan in the a single layer. For the piping bag, no tip needed, just insert the piece inside the bag and attach the outer ring.
-
Step 6Pour the remaining pasta sauce over the cannelloni tubes.
-
Step 7Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
-
Step 8Remove the foil, sprinkle the dish with cheese. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
-
Step 9Serve and enjoy.
