Cannelloni in a flash

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 20 cannelloni from the package
  • 20 frozen cevapcici
  • 500 g tomato sauce from the jar
  • 250 ml water
  • 200 g Gouda, grated
  • 200 g Emmental cheese, grated

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Fill the cannelloni with the cevapcici. Let the cevapcici thaw slightly so they can be bent a little. This makes it easier to fit them into the cannelloni. Thin the tomato sauce with water, as the pasta will still absorb a lot of liquid and the baking process will also absorb water; otherwise the dish will be dry rather than saucey. Place the filled cannelloni in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them. Spread the cheese on top and bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Tip: There are plenty of ready-made tomato sauces, for example with basil or with olives, so you can vary the sauce. You could also add a cup of cream instead of water to the sauce to change it up, or swap out the cheeses for others; this way the recipe always tastes a little different. And the cevapcici will take on the subtle garlicky note.
