How to Cook Our Gluten Free Cannelloni
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- Olive oil
- 500g beef mince or beef & pork mince
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 Aubergine diced (optional)
- Diced mushrooms (optional)
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Grano Padano cheese
- 100g diced smoked cheese or firm mozzarelle
- Tenuta Marmorelle Pasta Sauce (Gluten Free)
- 12 cannelloni tubes
- For the bechamel
- 25g butter
- 25g cornflour
- 1 bay leaf
- 400ml milk
- Grated Cheddar, mozzarella or parmesan cheese
- Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic, then add the mince and fry till browned. Once cooked, put everything in a large bowl to cool. Fry the aubergine and mushrooms if using, then add them to the mince mixture.
- Making sure that the mixture is cool, add the egg, the cheeses plus salt and pepper to taste.
- Boil the cannelloni tubes in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and place to one-side to cool.
- Heat the pasta sauce, for 6 minutes.
- Grease a oven proof dish (large enough for 12 cannelloni) with olive oil and a little of the pasta sauce. Pre-heat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6.
- Now stuff the pasta tubes! This can be a little bit messy but when they are filled they are going to be covered in delicious sauce! Place the filled cannelloni tubes in the dish.
- Next, make the béchamel sauce. Heat the butter in a pan, mix the cornflour with a little milk, add this to the rest of the milk and stir this into the butter with the bay leaf. Heat gently until thickened.
- Pour the pasta sauce over the pasta tubes, then pour over the béchamel and top with lots of your chosen grated cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes or until golden brown and the pasta is cooked.
- Enjoy...Buon appetito!
