Cannelloni with Bolognese Filling Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 200 d C/400 d F/Gas 6, 15 minutes before cooking the stuffed cannelloni. To make the Bolognese sauce, heat oil in a large heavy-based pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 8 minutes, or until soft. Add the minced beef and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps, for 5-8 minutes, or until the meat is browned.
  • Stir in chilli flakes, fennel seeds, oregano, tomatoes and tomato paste and pour in the wine. Season well with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, cover and lower the heat, then simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Using a teaspoon, fill the cannelloni tubes with the meat filling. Lay the stuffed cannelloni side by side in a lightly oiled ovenproof dish.
  • Mix the double cream with three-quarters of the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Pour over the cannelloni and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden-brown and bubbling. Serve immediately with a garden salad.
  • HELPFUL HINT:
  • The bolognese filling can be made with all beef mince, as here, or more traditionally with a mixture of half beef and half lean minced pork. Minced chicken or turkey also work well in this recipe, although the colour is paler and the flavour less rich, but you can compensate for this by slightly increasing the quantity of herbs and spices.
