OUR CANNELLONI

Instructions

• 🥣 Meat filling: Sauté finely chopped red onion, grated carrot, and a piece of celery in olive oil. Add the minced meat and sear it thoroughly. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, oregano, and fresh basil. Pour in the dry wine and let it evaporate. Finally, stir in the tomato paste, crushed garlic, and a handful of grated parmesan for a perfect richness of flavor.
  Necháme vychladnúť a zmesou plníme trubičky.
• 🍅 Homemade Tomato Sauce In a pot with oil, sauté the chopped red onion and garlic until translucent. Pour in the tomato puree and add 200 ml of water. Season with the Italian seasoning blend, salt, black pepper, and fresh basil. Let it simmer briefly, then blend the sauce with a hand blender and strain it through a sieve until perfectly smooth. Adjust the taste with a pinch of sugar and, right at the end, stir in a piece of butter to soften.
• 🥛 Béchamel sauce In a smaller pot, melt the butter and add the all-purpose flour to create a light roux. Whisking continuously, gradually pour in the milk to prevent any lumps from forming. Season with salt and pepper (white pepper is preferred) and cook until thickened. Once removed from the heat, stir in a handful of grated parmesan.
• ✨ Skladanie a pečenie: Spread a layer of béchamel and tomato sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish, and arrange the filled tubes tightly next to each other. I used a deeper baking dish and made two layers. Generously pour the remaining béchamel and tomato sauce over the filled tubes, and top with a sprinkle of parmesan.
• 🔥 Zapekaciu misu zavrieme a pečieme v rúre vyhriatej na 220 °C približne 25 minút. Potom otvoríme, teplotu znížime na 200 °C a dopekáme ešte 15 minút, kým povrch nechytí krásnu zlatistú kôrku a syr nebublá. Ak nemáme zapekaciu misu, tak pečieme pod alobalom na plechu.
