Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 14 oz ground beef
- 14 oz ground pork
- 14 oz ground veal
- 6 oz parmesan cheese
- 2 medium egg
- salt and pepper
- 17 oz cannelloni shells 2 packages
- 26 oz marinara sauce
- 8 oz water
Instructions
- Make your sauce ahead of time. See link in ingredients. Or buy marinara sauce.
- Sauté the meat in a skillet. Sauté the pork separately from the beef and veal making sure to scoop the cooked meat into a colander to drain excess fat.
- Place the cooked meat together in a food processor and pulse until it's not chunky anymore.
- Place the cooked meat in a bowl and let cool completely. Add egg, salt, pepper and cheese and mix thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare a baking tray by filling it with a cup of water and a cup of sauce. Make sure that the sauce comes up the sides at least 1 inch.
- Fill the cannelloni by using the shell to scoop the meat in the bowl. Use your fingers to push the meat in and continue to scoop with the pasta shell until the shell is full of the meat mixture.
- Place filled shells in the baking tray. Repeat.
- Pour remaining sauce on top of cannelloni and add enough water so that the cannelloni are almost submerged in liquid. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the pasta shells are soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve with more parmesan cheese on top.
