Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Sea salt
1 pound broccoli, washed, florets and stalks chopped
1 pound romanesco or white cauliflower, washed, florets and stalks chopped
Olive oil
7 cloves garlic, peeled and finely sliced
1 small bunch fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 (1-ounce) can best-quality anchovies in oil, drained and chopped, oil reserved
2 to 3 small dried chiles, crumbled
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups good-quality tomato sauce
Good-quality red wine vinegar
2 cups creme fraiche
7 ounces Parmesan, finely grated
16 cannelloni tubes
1 small bunch fresh basil, leaves picked
7 ounces good-quality mozzarella cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 large handfuls arugula leaves, washed and dried
1 lemon

Steps:

  • This is a twist on the classic Italian dish of orecchiette with broccoli, anchovies and garlic - I've added cauliflower and made it an oven-baked dish. The flavors are amazing.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and drop in the chopped broccoli and cauliflower. Boil for 5 to 6 minutes, until cooked, then drain in a colander, reserving the cooking water.
  • Heat a wide saucepan, pour in a couple of good glugs of olive oil and add the garlic. Fry for a few seconds, then add the thyme leaves, anchovies, anchovy oil and chiles and continue frying for a few seconds more before adding the cooked broccoli and cauliflower with around 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. Stir everything together, put a lid on the pan leaving a little gap, and cook slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring regularly - overcooking the vegetables not only intensies their flavor but gives you the texture that you need for this recipe. Remove the lid for the last 5 minutes to let the moisture evaporate, then use a potato masher to crush the vegetables. Take the saucepan off the heat, taste the vegetables and season carefully with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet to cool. Meanwhile, get yourself another baking dish or roasting pan (the right size for fitting the cannelloni tubes snugly side by side - I test this by actually laying the tubes into the dish, then remove them and put to 1 side) and pour in the tomato sauce with a pinch of salt and a swig of red wine vinegar.
  • Now, to make a really quick and easy white sauce, mix the creme fraiche with half the Parmesan, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and a little of the reserved cooking water to thin it down.
  • Spoon your cooled broccoli and cauliflower mixture into a large sandwich bag and cut off the corner. Twist the top of the bag and squeeze it to pipe the filling into the cannelloni tubes. (If you prefer, use a teaspoon to push the mixture into the cannelloni or use a piping bag.) Fill the tubes up - don't be stingy! - and place them in a single layer on top of the sauce. Lay the basil leaves over the cannelloni and spoon your white sauce evenly over the top. Season with black pepper, sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan and tear over the mozzarella. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden and bubbling on top.
  • Dress the arugula leaves with a squeeze of lemon juice and about 3 times as much extra- virgin olive oil. Serve the cannelloni with the arugula and some good crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Vegetables: Select fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower florets for the best texture and flavor. Look for broccoli florets with tightly closed heads and cauliflower florets that are compact and white.
  • Preparing the Vegetables: Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Blanching the vegetables briefly in boiling water helps retain their color and crispness while making them tender.
  • Making the Cannelloni Filling: Use a food processor to finely chop the blanched vegetables, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and seasonings. This ensures a smooth and evenly mixed filling.
  • Assembling the Cannelloni: Lay the wonton wrappers flat and place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrappers tightly around the filling to create cannelloni rolls.
  • Baking the Cannelloni: Arrange the cannelloni rolls in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the cannelloni and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serving the Cannelloni: Let the cannelloni rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

This baked cauliflower and broccoli cannelloni is a delicious and versatile dish that combines the goodness of vegetables with the comfort of pasta. It's a perfect meal for vegetarians, and it can also be enjoyed by meat-eaters as a side dish or a light lunch. With its colorful presentation and satisfying flavors, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients, follow the recipe, and enjoy this culinary delight!
