Stuffed pasta is a delicious, budget-friendly dish that's quick and easy to prepare. But in order to cook it, you first need to buy special pasta for stuffing. It can be cannelloni, conciglioni, lumaconi. It is equally important to choose the filling, and it can be varied. The most common pasta with minced meat, so today I will cook a dish with it. However, there are recipes with chicken, mushrooms, cottage cheese, vegetables, and even sweet desserts with fruits and berries.
The process of making stuffed pasta is a bit like making lasagna, because they are poured with white creamy sauce. The thickness of the sauce can be adjusted to your liking. It can be thin, thin, or thick. For this, more or less milk is added, or the density is regulated by the amount of flour.
For the sake of fairness, I note that you can stuff pasta not only special, Italian, but any products. The main thing is that they are large enough to fit the filling inside. I also recommend that you read the instructions on the package. Since some varieties must be boiled before filling the filling, but there are those that do not require this.
