The Sopranos
List of Ingredients
ca. 400 cannelloni-tubes
Béchamel:
4 table spoons of flour
2 table spoons of butter
1 liter of milk
100 grams of shredded cheese
salt
pepper
Filling:
ca. 400 grams of meat slices (like pork or calf)
300 grams of frozen spinach
50 grams of shredded cheese
2 eggs
2 table spoons of béchamel
nutmeg
salt
pepper
Recipe
First of all, prepare the béchamel. Set aside two table spoons for later use. Spice it up with as much salt and pepper as you prefer.
Chop up the meat. Steam the spinach until there's no water left in it. Mix the spinach with the meat and stir in the two table spoons of béchamel, the eggs and the cheese. Mix it thoroughly and spice up with as much nutmeg, salt and pepper as you prefer. Remember, the farce shouldn't be too loose. Fill up the cannelloni tubes. Put the cannellonis in a form where they can lie side by side. Pour the béchamel over and make sure everything's covered. You could put some more shredded cheese on top if you like that. Put the form in an oven heated to 200 degrees for about half an hour, or until the top is golden.
