Chicken and basil cannelloni

No ratings yet

Cannelloni are filled tubes of pasta. This variation uses chicken and basil but you can mix the fillings up by putting in different meats or even making them vegetarian.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Oil
500 g Chicken mince
1 Onion
¼ cup Basil pesto
250 g Ricotta cheese
2 Eggs
1 cup Parmesan cheese
14 Cannelloni tubes
2 cups Tomato pasta sauce
1 cup Mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook chicken mince and chopped onion until onion is tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, place pesto, ricotta, eggs, grated parmesan and cooled chicken mince. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
  4. Grease a large casserole dish. Put a heaped tablespoon of filling into each cannelloni tube. Continue until the filling is used up, placing tubes next to each other in a single layer in the dish.
  5. Spoon tomato sauce over the filled cannelloni and sprinkle with grated mozzarella.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes until the top is light brown and bubbly.
