An interesting and original independent dish or a complete dessert baked in the oven under a delicious sauce - cannelloni with apricots. It is not difficult to prepare, but it turns out very tasty. Step-by-step recipe with a photo. Video recipe.
Cannelloni are derived from the Italian word "canno", which means "pipe". This is a type of pasta in the form of large hollow tubes, which are intended for stuffing. Their size can reach 10 cm in length and 3 cm in volume. Recently, Italian cuisine has become especially popular in our country. And on the shelves of stores, you can increasingly see similar products on sale. In the classic version, they are cooked and stuffed with minced meat. However, in Italy, cannelloni with cheese, herbs, vegetables, eggs and fish are no less popular. But cannelloni are no less ideally combined with fruit. These wide straws are great for stuffing with berries and fruit mousses! I propose a rather light sweet and sour option - cannelloni with apricots. They will be an excellent end to a meal or become an independent dish.
Cooking this dish is very simple. The tubes are completely filled with your favorite fruits and fit into a mold with high sides. Poured over with sauce and baked in the oven. White béchamel sauce or classic tomato sauce is used as a filling for salty dishes. For dessert cannelloni, milk, cream, sour cream are used. To add spice to the ready-made cannelloni, if desired, sprinkle them with grated hard cheese, like Parmesan, on top. Well, now, let's try to cook an Italian dish in our kitchen using cannelloni!

Step by step preparation of cannelloni with apricots, recipe with photo:
1. The apricots used in this recipe are frozen. They need to be defrosted a little so that they become pliable and can fill the tubes with them. If the fruit is fresh, wash it, dry it, remove the pit and break the fruit into two halves. Pay attention to the instructions on the packaging, because some types of pasta should be boiled a little beforehand and then stuffed.
2. Fold the straws into a baking dish. If they are raw, place them at a short distance from each other. they will increase in volume during cooking.
3. Fill the tubes with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Sprinkle them with cheese shavings if desired. Send them to a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes. For the specific cooking time of cannelloni, see the manufacturer's packaging. Serve warm apricot cannelloni with sour cream, cream or a scoop of ice cream. They will also be delicious chilled. Their taste is somewhat similar to dumplings with apricots.
