Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook until browned. Stir in ricotta cheese, half of the parmesan, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fill the Cannelloni

    Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each cannelloni tube with the meat mixture.

  5. 5

    Assemble and Bake

    Spread half of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place filled cannelloni on top, then cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes.
