It is the season of storms so even if we are in summer, here is a comforting dish for evenings that need it
The Bolognese-style cannelloni
To start, we will have to prepare some vegetables
I use carrots, celery and an onion
I cut the kikis to my carrots, I peel them because I don't like the skin
and I cut them into very small pieces
It is necessary to be able to fillet the cannelloni then
You don't have to cut pieces that small
But this is how I do it
I cut into squares along the length of the carrot
Then I cut into small cubes
Then I move on to the celery and I use the same method
I first cut along the length of the celery
Then I cut into small pieces
And finally I do the same thing with my onion
It is probably the most annoying vegetable to cut but everything will be fine
You could probably mix the vegetables slightly instead
But I don't really like the final texture it gives
Once the vegetables are cut into small pieces, they must be cooked
In a large pan I pour oil
And when everything is hot, I pour all my vegetables
It may seem a lot like that, but vegetables reduce to cooking
Then just let the vegetables brown by mixing regularly
When they start to brown, I add 2 boxes of crushed tomatoes
I mix
Then I add my seasonings
Herbs from the garden, but you can use herbs from Provence
Salt, a bay leaf, pepper, garlic
Then I mix well
I add a little bit of water
Balsamic vinegar, it's really delicious in tomato sauce
I mix for the 15th time
Then I cover and let it simmer while I prepare my béchamel
I have already shown you several times how to make béchamel
And I have an article on the blog which I will put the link in the description
So I will do it quickly
In a small saucepan I melt margarine
Then I mix flour
And once all the milk is incorporated, I add my seasonings
Pepper, nutmeg, broth and malted yeast
I mix well and the béchamel is ready
I just have to take it out of the fire, the time to be able to use it
During this time, our tomato sauce has simmered well
Do not hesitate to taste it to see if it lacks something
I remove my bay leaf
And I add small pieces of pvt to my sauce
They are already prepared and rehydrated
I have a whole video on it, but I explain everything on the blog, on the recipe for cannelloni
You can also omit them and use another simili or lentils instead
Once well mixed, I taste again, it's important
Then I remove the pan from the fire and let the sauce cool down, the time to preheat the oven
I also prepare my cannelloni dish
For the photos I used my cast iron pan, it will make two floors of cannelloni
But you can use a large dish and make a single floor like the classic recipes
I butter my mold with margarine
Then it's time to fill the cannelloni
Normally to do this properly, we use a piping bag
But I know that you are many not to have one
So I decided to use the method of chaos
I plug a side of the cannelloni with one of my hands
Then I use a tablespoon to push the stuffing inside
With the vegetables cut into small pieces, I can assure you that it is not difficult
And that it does not take as long as that, the pasta fills up quite quickly
I show you from another perspective so that you can see better
After making a floor of cannelloni, I make a second by placing the cannelloni above the first
Normally we make a single floor, so I advise you to use a large dish if you have one
If you have a little stuffing left at the end, just slip it between the cannelloni
Then pour and spread all the béchamel sauce
And the whole thing goes in the oven at 200 degrees for about thirty minutes
And here are our wonderful cannelloni
It's such a delicious and satisfying dish
I think we really left out the cannelloni for the sake of the lasagna
It's a similar dish, but I find that the cannelloni are a little smaller
