Butter a shallow baking dish and smear bottom with 3 tbsp bechamel sauce.

Stir about 1/3 of the sauce into the meat mixture.

Spread a thin layer of filling onto the pasta sheets and roll starting at the long end. If using cannelloni shells stuff them with the meat filling.Place the cannelloni in a single layer in the dish.Spoon the remaining sauce over top and bake at 425F for 20 minutes or until top has browned.

Hi NZ (are you from NZ? ~ I am !!!!! :) ...)
Anyway, for cannelloni filling you can really try any minced meat you prefer. I like chicken or pork mince.

Lightly saute mince with onion & garlic add herbs like basil and/or oregano ~ put aside.
Make a cheese sauce, mix with the mince. Fill the cannaloni. Line a tray with the filled pasta cover with a rich tomato (vegie not processed) sauce with basil and parsley.

Sprinkle parmesan and tasty cheese over the top and cook in med oven for about 30 minutes. Enjoy!!!!! :)

Answer 4

I use a mixture of ground turkey, ground sausage and ground sirloin, I mix 1/2 pound of each meat in a bowl add an egg some onion and brown it. After the meat is browned I add a small tub of blended ricotta cheese and 1/4 shredded mozzerella and stuff the cannelloni. Pour my sauce over the top and a bit more mozzerella. Cook till it bubbles! Hope you enjoy!

Answer 5

what a moron before this...(I MEAN THE FIRST GUY!!!!!!!!!)

canelloni filling: saute ground beef with ground sausage (either hot or sweet, of combo), garlic, onions. Turn heat down, add parsley....season with s&p....once cooled, add to ricotta cheese with marscarpone cheese...toss and add parmesan cheese and a little sauce (tomato. if you are using a cream based sauce, add a bit of melted butter to this mixture and omit the sauce to the cheese, etc...) Spinach is a great, colorful addition (organic baby spinach is the best)

Answer 6

brown ground Italian sausage and then mix with drained frozen chopped spinach an egg and lots of grated Parmesan cheese

Answer 7

Vanilla ice cream or mint choc chip
