Method
Preparation of Filling
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
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
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.
Arrange the Cannelloni
Place the stuffed cannelloni tubes in a single layer on top of the marinara sauce in the baking dish.
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.
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.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the cannelloni from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
