How To Make ham and chicken cannelloni with sauce

Step 1

Saute the garlic in 1/4 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat until golden. Add the flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add half-and-half, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly.

Step 2

Stir in the bouillon granules and white pepper. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup Romano cheese, stirring until the cheeses melt. Set aside, and keep warm.
Step 3

Cook cannelloni shells according to the package directions; drain well, and set aside.
Step 4

Saute the green onions in 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet, over medium heat until tender. Remove from the heat; add remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/4 cup Romano cheese, spinach, and remaining ingredients, stirring well.
Step 5

Stuff the cannelloni shells with the spinach mixture. Place the cannelloni shells in a greased 11 x 7 x 1 1/2 inch baking dish. Spoon the reserved cheese sauce over the stuffed shells.
Step 6

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
