How to cook stuffed pasta

We make minced meat from meat. You can take ready minced meat.

Peel and wash onions, garlic and carrots.

Cut the onion into small cubes, chop the garlic finely. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable (preferably olive) oil and pass the vegetables, stirring constantly, until the onion becomes translucent. Let the vegetables cool down a bit.

We rub the cheese on a fine grater. You can use Parmesan cheese, or you can go the budget route and take a semi-hard cheese like Russian or Dutch. I have two kinds of cheese this time. I rubbed Russian for the filling, and for the cheese cap - Parmesan.

Finely chop the parsley.

In a bowl, mix minced meat, 2/3 grated cheese, browned vegetables, parsley. Add salt and ground black pepper, seasoning Italian herbs. Salt (given the saltiness of the cheese).

Add half a glass of cold tap water to the minced meat, mix well. We start the tubes with prepared minced meat. Sometimes, before stuffing the pasta tubes with minced meat, they are boiled. But I find it easier and faster to stuff dry cannelloni. Gently push the filling with the index finger first on one side, and when the tube is half full, start on the other side.

Here we have such large pasta stuffed with minced meat. Lay them on a small baking sheet. Turn on the oven and heat it up to 220 degrees.

Since we are cooking pasta stuffed with minced meat in the oven with cream, we need to prepare the cream. Bring them to a boil on the stove, salt a little.

Pour the prepared cannelloni pasta stuffed with minced meat with hot cream. Pasta should be almost completely covered. If this is not the case, you can add a little boiling water. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack.

Bake for 20 minutes. During this time, the cream will boil away a little and the top of the pasta will be exposed.

Now sprinkle the pasta with the remaining cheese.

Pasta stuffed with minced meat is a favorite dish in many countries, but it has gained particular popularity in Italy, which, however, is not surprising. A distinctive feature of cooking is the use of pasta in the form of tubes, which are called cannelloni.

Italian cuisine offers a huge variety of specialty pasta for different tastes and preferences.

The main mistakes in cooking pasta

To make the dish tasty and beautiful, you need to boil the pasta correctly:

• Before baking, almost all pasta must be boiled to a state of slightly undercooked. This is the only way to get a dish baked according to all the canons. Otherwise, even the most viscous filling can very easily leak out.
• If you can’t cook the pasta, you need to pour a little boiled water into them. Before this, the water is salted, and sometimes other spices are added for a greater taste.
• It is advisable to add an egg or egg yolk to it while twisting the minced meat so that the mass does not delaminate. Also, the egg will help to give the meat a special softness and tenderness.
• After cooking pasta, you do not need to leave it outdoors. They can quickly weather and dry out. Usually there is nothing to fix this and you have to do it all over again.

Any new dish must be done step by step. If you are preparing a recipe for the first time, it is better not to improvise.
