  • Arrange in bottom of a buttered 9x13 baking dish.
  • Pour sauce over top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 oven for 30-40 minutes until bubbling.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, make sure all ingredients are measured, chopped, and prepared. This will ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients, the tastier the final dish will be. Look for organic, free-range, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cannelloni should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Stuff the cannelloni carefully: Use a spoon or piping bag to stuff the cannelloni, taking care not to overfill them. Overstuffed cannelloni can burst during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure it's flavorful and well-seasoned. A simple tomato sauce or béchamel sauce can be used, or you can get creative and try a more complex sauce, such as a pesto or vodka sauce.
  • Cook the cannelloni in a covered dish: This will help to keep the pasta moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the cannelloni hot: Cannelloni is best served hot, straight out of the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Ham and chicken cannelloni is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover ham and chicken, and it's also a good option for a make-ahead meal. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, this recipe is sure to impress. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
