Ingredients

  • 500 g No Added Hormone Beef 4 Star Lean Mince
  • 250 g cannelloni pasta tubes
  • 250 g ricotta cheese
  • 1 each brown onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 50 g parmesan cheese
  • 150 g mozzarella cheese
  • 700 ml passata
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 7 g fresh basil
  • 0.5 loaf white sandwich loaf
  • 75 g butter
  • 10 g parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
  2. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the beef mince with chopped brown onion and 3 minced garlic cloves until browned. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mince mixture, ricotta cheese, half of the grated parmesan cheese, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix well to form the filling.
  4. Fill the uncooked cannelloni pasta tubes with the filling mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
  5. Pour half of the passata into a baking dish to create a thin layer of sauce.
  6. Arrange the filled cannelloni tubes over the passata layer. Pour the remaining passata over the cannelloni and sprinkle with dried oregano.
  7. Top with grated mozzarella cheese and the remaining parmesan cheese.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. While the cannelloni is baking, make the garlic bread by mixing softened butter with 2 minced garlic cloves and the remaining parsley.
  10. Spread the garlic butter mixture onto slices of the white sandwich loaf and place them on a baking tray.
  11. Bake the garlic bread in the oven for the last 10 minutes of the cannelloni cooking time or until crisp and golden.
  12. Serve the baked cannelloni hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, alongside the garlic bread.
