Original Italian cannelloni casserole

This cannelloni casserole is a dish that I have been making for years and always enjoy bringing to the table. It is wonderful to prepare and then bake in the oven at the desired time. The combination of the spiciness of the tomato sauce, the creaminess of the béchamel sauce and the savory flavor of the cannelloni filled with ground meat is simply irresistible.

Directions

80 min.
1. Step

With the cannelloni recipe start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees (convection).

2. Step

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Stir regularly so that nothing burns. Add the minced meat and fry until crumbly.

3. Step

Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and season with salt, bell pepper and paprika. Mix everything well and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally so that the sauce does not burn.

4. Step

In the meantime, prepare the béchamel sauce. To do this, melt the butter in a saucepan and sweat the flour in it. Slowly pour in the milk and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Season with salt and nutmeg, or use other spices to taste, such as oregano or basil. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool down a bit.

5. Step

Fill the cannelloni with the minced meat and tomato mixture. This works especially well with a teaspoon.

6. Step

Cover a baking dish with some béchamel sauce, place the stuffed cannelloni on top and pour the remaining béchamel sauce over it. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.

7. Step

Bake the original Italian cannelloni casserole in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the cheese is nice and golden and crispy. Serve to the family while still hot !
