Instructions How to Make Stuffed Cannelloni:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking dish.
2. Cook the Filling:
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until golden and fragrant. Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence.
3. Stuff the Cannelloni:
Carefully fill each cannelloni tube with the seasoned meat mixture. A piping bag or small spoon works great for this step.
4. Assemble the Dish:
Spread a layer of tomato sauce at the bottom of your baking dish. Arrange the filled cannelloni in a single layer.
5. Add Sauce and Cheese:
Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese for that irresistible baked topping.
6. Bake to Perfection:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until the cannelloni are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
