Instructions

STEP 1:

cooked chicken
ice

Partially cook chicken till it’s not pink (err on the side of caution as undercooked chicken is bad,but bear in mind it will recieve some more heat later on).Then grind or shred into small peices.

STEP 2:

STEP 3:

clove
garlic
herbs
onion
pepper
salt
syrup

add 1 clove of garlic to 500g of passata (remember to remove skin first, similar to onions) .Use a blender/food processor to get a smooth sauce. Heat and reduce to desired consistency. Then season to tatse using golden syrup and/or salt or pepper or even cheese and herbs. Combine chicken pieces with the sauce.

STEP 4:

STEP 5:

butter
cream
flour
milk
oil
starch

cheese sauce: use a low heat! Melt butter/marg. When it’s bubbling quickly add flour quickly and stir to avoid boiling and release the starch(this will stop the cheese clumping!). Add cold milk to the ‘roux’ (flour and butter mixture). Add cream if desired. Add grated/shredded cheese slowly( if you add to much cheese or too big lumps of cheese -you could end up with lumpy cheese sauce!). Also add cheese last so as the more you heat the cheese the more likely it is to clump giving a lumpy sauce.

STEP 6:

STEP 7:

oil
pasta
tomato
tomato sauce

fill cannelloni pasta with chicken mixture. Line base of baking/casserole dish with a little tomato sauce. Place filled canneloni base in tray. Cover the canneloni pasta throughly with cheese sauce-the sauce will stop the pasta from burning and keep it moist(similar to boiling pasta!)

STEP 9:

pasta

bake for 45 mins -till pasta is soft and cooked and chicken is fully cooked at 160 degrees( 140 for fan oven). Check regularly
