Ingredients | Chicken And Spinach Cannelloni With White Sauce

8 cannelloni noodles

5 cloves garlic, minced

5 shallots, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup dry sherry

2 cups heavy whipping cream

salt and pepper to taste

1 onion, chopped

1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms

1 zucchini, chopped

1 small eggplant, diced

2 roasted red bell peppers, diced

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¾ cup ricotta cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large pot of salted water, parboil cannelloni. (Parboiling is partially cooking the noodles in boiling water; they will finish cooking when baked.)

Meanwhile, cook 2 cloves garlic and 2 shallots in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 30 seconds. Pour in sherry, raise heat to high, and reduce liquid by half. Stir in cream, and reduce until there is about 1 1/2 cups liquid. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set cream sauce aside.

In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion, 3 shallots, 3 cloves garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant in olive oil until all vegetables are tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in red peppers, basil, oregano, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set filling aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch baking dish. Stuff vegetable/cheese filling into cannelloni. Place in prepared baking dish, and cover with cream sauce.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
