Ingredients

• 12 pieces cannelloni shells
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 300 grams ground beef
• 300 grams ground pork
• 250 grams ricotta cheese
• 200 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 100 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• 6 leaves basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the cannelloni shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 150 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese, 80 grams of Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 7

Once the meat has slightly cooled, mix it into the cheese filling mixture.

Step 8

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a large baking dish.

Step 9

Carefully stuff each cannelloni shell with the filling mixture, using a spoon or piping bag. Arrange the stuffed shells in a single layer in the baking dish.

Step 10

Pour the remaining 2 cups of marinara sauce over the stuffed cannelloni, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining 50 grams of shredded mozzarella and 20 grams of Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 14

Let the cannelloni cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
