Recipe for cannelloni with fresh truffle and ricotta
Cannelloni has its roots in Italian cuisine, specifically in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is believed that this recipe originated in the Middle Ages, when leftover pasta from other dishes was often used to create new preparations.
Over the years, this recipe has been adapted and reinvented in different culinary cultures, resulting in a variety of creative and delicious fillings.
The traditional cannelloni recipe varies across Italy, with fillings ranging from beef, pork, or chicken to spinach and ricotta cheese. This versatility has led to a wide range of options to satisfy different tastes and preferences.
In this recipe, we fuse the elegance of black truffle with the smoothness and freshness of ricotta cheese to create a unique and memorable culinary experience.
Ingredients
12 sheets of cannelloni (pre-cooked)*
250g of ricotta cheese
50g of grated Parmesan cheese
Black truffle from Aragon (Tuber melanosporum)
1 egg
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Bechamel (white sauce)
Grated Parmesan cheese for gratinating
*If you want to make the cannelloni dough yourself, here are the ingredients and instructions:
2 cups of wheat flour
2 large eggs
A pinch of salt
Water (if needed)
Elaboration
*Cannelloni pasta
Place the wheat flour in a large bowl and make a small well in the center. Break the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt.
Using a fork or your clean hands, begin mixing the eggs and flour in the center of the bowl. As you mix, the ingredients will gradually combine, forming a rough dough. If the dough seems dry or doesn't come together well, add water very gradually, one teaspoon at a time, until you can form a cohesive ball of dough.
Once the dough has formed, place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and result in a more elastic pasta.
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
Divide the dough into smaller portions to make it easier to work with. Roll out each portion of dough into a thin, rectangular sheet. You can do this using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. The pasta sheet should be thin enough to be flexible, but not so thin that it tears when handled.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. The salt will help season the pasta as it boils. Cook the pasta sheets one at a time in the boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. The pasta will cook quickly because of its thinness. Remove the pasta sheets from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
Preparation of the Black Truffle
Make sure you buy high-quality, fresh black truffles from Sentidos Truferos. If you already have a fresh truffle, gently clean it with a soft brush and handle it carefully to preserve its shape and aroma, as Sentidos Truferos delivers truffles ready to eat.
Truffle and Cheese Filling
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Stir well until you have a uniform mixture.
Grate the black truffle into the cheese mixture and stir so that the aroma is evenly distributed.
Fill the Cannelloni
Cook the cannelloni sheets according to the package instructions if they are pre-made sheets.
Lay a cannelloni sheet on a flat surface and add a spoonful of the cheese and truffle mixture to one end. Carefully roll up the cannelloni and place it in an ovenproof dish.
Repeat the process until all the cannelloni are filled.
Assembly and Cooking
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pour the béchamel sauce over the filled cannelloni, making sure to cover them completely.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the béchamel sauce for gratinating.
The Pleasure of Tasting
Bake the cannelloni in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the cannelloni from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. You can grate some black truffle on top for decoration and to add even more flavor.
