Method

Preparation of Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the Filling Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Stuffing the Cannelloni

  1. 2

    Stuff the Cannelloni

    Using a small spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each cannelloni tube with the chicken filling mixture. Ensure each tube is filled adequately without overstuffing.

Baking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a baking dish.

  2. 4

    Arrange the Cannelloni

    Place the stuffed cannelloni tubes in a single layer on top of the marinara sauce in the baking dish.

  3. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed cannelloni, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 6

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the cannelloni from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
