CANNELLONI FILLING
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the Carrot pieces, the diced onions, and fry until soft and browning, 4-5 minutes. Add the spicy rub and the grated garlic, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata, 150ml of water, and simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
LASAGNE SHEETS
Once the water is boiling, add the lasagne sheets. Cook until cooked but still firm, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pot and immediately put in a bowl of cold water. Once cooled, drain on a clean tea towel in a single layer - don't pile them up as they will stick together.
BECHAMEL
Place a pan over medium heat with 30g of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook out for 1-2 minutes (whisking constantly). Slowly whisk in the Milk, whisking constantly until thickened slightly. If the bechamel is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of water. Remove from the heat.
DIY CANNELLONI
Lay out the cooked lasagne sheets and place 3-4 tbsp of the saucy mince mixture along the length of each lasagne sheet and roll up to form a tube. The mixture should make about 2-3 tubes per serving. Spread a thin layer of bechamel on the bottom of a greased, deep, ovenproof dish. Lay the tubes side by side on top of the sauce, and pour over the remaining bechamel and mince filling. Sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and bake until the cheese is melted and golden, 10-15 minutes.
SOME FRESHNESS
Just before serving, dress the rinsed green leaves with olive oil, the lemon juice (to taste), and season.
IT’S THAT TIME
Plate up the oozy delicious cannelloni and side with the fresh green leaves. Well done, Chef!
