Direction and Ingredients

22 Precooked dried cannelloni

-shells (see note)

2 Chopped tomatoes

2 tb Freshly grated Parmesan

-cheese SAUCE:

3 tb Butter

1 Chopped onion

3 tb Flour

1 1/2 c Chicken stock

1 c Light cream

Salt and pepper to taste

3/4 c Grated Swiss cheese

FILLING:

1 1/2 c Diced cooked chicken

1 pk Frozen spinach, thawed and

-drained

3/4 c Ricotta cheese

1/3 c Toasted slivered almonds

1/4 c Freshly grated Parmesan

-cheese

1 Egg

1/4 ts Grated nutmeg

Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Saute onion until tender. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add stock, cream, salt and pepper. Cook until boiling and thickened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Swiss cheese. Cover with waxed paper and set aside.

Filling: Combine chicken, spinach, Ricotta, almonds, Parmesan, egg and nutmeg. Blend all ingredients together.

Assembly: Place filling in the pre-cooked shells. Pour a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed cannelloni in a single layer over the sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped tomatoes, and pour the sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminium foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until pasta is soft and the top bubbles.

Note: The kind of pasta used in this dish is dried, but is usually called "oven ready". I believe it is coated in egg whites to enable it to cook right in the oven when well-covered in sauce. If you make the dish ahead and refrigerate, the cooking time will be cut down because the pasta will soften in the refrigeration.
