You have probably seen large pasta tubes on store shelves. These are cannelloni, which are not boiled like spaghetti, but stuffed with minced meat. Step-by-step recipe with a photo of cannelloni with duck. Video recipe.
Do you want something Italian, and even tasty and fast? I immediately remember pizza and lasagna. However, these dishes cannot be prepared quickly without preparations. Sauces are needed for lasagna, and dough for pizza. I propose an alternative version - cannelloni. Cooking will take 30 minutes and another 20 minutes in the oven. Quite very fast! But first, let's figure out what a cannelloni is? Canneloni is a type of Italian pasta that is also known by another name as manicotti. These are large tubular pasta, sometimes reaching up to 3 cm in diameter and 6-10 cm in length. In Italian cuisine, meat with vegetables, cheeses and sauces is most often placed in the rather spacious interior of the cannelloni. Tomato, milk, sour cream, cream are used as sauces, from which a complex component sauce is made.
I want to suggest a recipe for cannelloni with duck. Here, a light milk sauce is harmoniously combined with juicy minced duck meat seasoned with tomato and soy sauce. The minced meat also contains fried onions and, of course, cheese. Almost not one Italian dish is complete without it. Fans of meat and pasta dishes will definitely like canneloni with duck. This is a great alternative to navy pasta, Italian lasagna and homemade dumplings. An interesting and non-standard dish is prepared quickly, while the taste is no worse. And thanks to the beautiful and non-standard design, the dish can be prepared for a festive feast.

Step by step cooking cannelloni with duck, recipe with photo:
1. Wash and dry duck breasts with a paper towel. Peel and wash onions. Twist the products through a meat grinder.
2. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and send the minced meat to fry over medium heat.
3. After 10 minutes of frying the minced meat, season it with salt, black pepper, tomato paste, soy sauce and any herbs with herbs.
4. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat.
5. Fill the cannelloni with the filling. Don't do it too hard. Do not stuff them tightly, as they may burst during cooking. But first, before stuffing, read the instructions on the package, because some types of cannelloni require a short boil before the dough becomes pliable.
Place the cannelloni in a baking dish.
6. Boil milk, salt and pepper. Then fill it with pasta.
7. Sprinkle cheese shavings on the tubules.
8. Cover them with foil and put them in a heated oven up to 180 degrees for half an hour. Many housewives do not fry the minced meat, but use it raw, as for dumplings. Then extend the cooking time by 15 minutes. Serve hot cannelloni with duck. They can be served with sour cream or your favorite sauce.
