Ingredients for Cannelloni Donatello

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add ground veal, salt, pepper, and basil. Cook until the veal is browned. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in shredded mozzarella.

  2. 2

    Assemble Cannelloni

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay out the fresh pasta sheets. Place about 2 tablespoons of the veal and mozzarella mixture at one end of each sheet. Roll the pasta tightly to form a tube and place in a baking dish.

  3. 3

    Add Sauces

    Pour the besciamella sauce over the rolled cannelloni, followed by the tomato sauce. Make sure to cover the pasta completely.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the cannelloni sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
