CHICKEN CANNELLONI
I entered this recipe in a contest sponsored by a local radio station years ago, and it won Grand Prize! It's a unique takeoff on cannelloni because you are stuffing chicken breasts instead of the usual pasta tubes. -Barbara Nowakowski, North Tonawanda, New York

Steps:
- THE NIGHT BEFORE (or early in the day): Cook lasagna noodles in 6 quarts boiling water for 5-7 minutes or until tender; drain, wipe noodles dry with a clean/dry cloth, lay flat on waxed paper.
- While noodles are cooking, melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet.
- Saute onion, garlic and mushrooms until they're tender; add remove from heat; set aside.
- Place cooked chicken in food processor and pulse until chicken resembles a tuna salad mixture.
- Combine chicken with the onions, garlic, mushrooms and the fat in which they were sauteed; add egg, cream and seasonings. Add spinach (cooked) and mix well.
- Cut each lasagna noodle into 2 or 3 pieces-each piece should be 3 to 4 inches long; place a tablespoonful of the chicken filling on each piece and roll into a tubular shape. If you don't want to make canneloni, just layer the ingredients like you would for lasagna.
- Arrange rolls next to each other, one layer deep, in a buttered baking dish; set aside while you prepare the cheese sauce.
- CHEESE SAUCE: Melt butter then add the flour and cook for a few minutes to get rid of the floury taste.
- Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps; add cream, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth; remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and mix well.
- I like to use, both, red and white sauce on this one. I spoon over a strip of the white sauce, next to it I spoon on some red; keep doing that across the dish until the sauce covers the noodles. The red/white pattern makes it look pretty and gives the dish a little more flavor. It also cuts back on some of the fat.
- Spoon sauce over cannelloni in baking dish; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella cheese, if used; refrigerate until you're ready to bake it.
- BEFORE SERVING: Preheat broiler; place cannelloni 4-5 inches from heat and broil for 10 minutes or until sauce bubbles and top browns. If you'll be making lasagna, bake in a 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it's bubbly and the top is browned a bit.

CHICKEN CANNELLONI (WITH OR WITHOUT SPINACH)
I'm not even sure where this recipe came from, it's been around so long. It sounds complicated, but it's really pretty simple, and goes together pretty quickly. And leftovers are great! If I'm making this for grownups, I add spinach, but if it's a family meal, I leave the spinach out. Sometimes, I will let the chicken marinate in white wine and thyme overnight before I begin.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, simmer the chicken breasts, onion, broth, wine, and thyme, until chicken is done.
- Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and allow them to cool slightly.
- While the chicken breasts are cooling, strain the chicken broth to remove the onions and thyme.
- Reserve the broth into a large saucepan.
- Put the onions and thyme into your food processor.
- Chop or tear the chicken into big chunks, and put into food processor with the onions and thyme.
- Pulse the chicken in the food processor until finely chopped (you may need to divide the chicken into 2 batches).
- (I've also used my old, heavy meat grinder for this).
- Prepare spinach, if using. Wash well, chop, and lightly sauté in a saucepan with 2 tbs olive oil until done to your preference. I personally don't like "mushy" spinach. You may also substitute frozen chopped spinach, but be sure to squeeze it out really well.
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken/onion mixture with the ricotta and cottage cheese, spinach, 1/2 c parmesan, nutmeg, and white pepper.
- Mix thoroughly; set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter.
- Whisk in flour, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
- Whisk in the reserved chicken broth, stirring constantly.
- Add the wine, and then the milk, stirring constantly, until sauce is velvety-smooth.
- Simmer, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes, while you start to assemble the canneloni.
- Assemble the canneloni: Lay 4-5 egg roll wraps out on the counter.
- Place approx 1/2 to 1 cup of chicken/cheese filling on center of wrap, and roll up, setting aside.
- Repeat until you're done.
- When sauce is done simmering, pour approx 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Tilt, to make sure it's spread evenly.
- Arrange canneloni in dish, and top with remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup parmesan.
- Cover with foil, and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
- During last 10 minutes, take the foil off so that the parmesan browns.
- Allow to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
FOUR CHEESE CANNELLONI
Both light and filling, this entree has become one of our favorites! It's perfect for dinner guests. Serve with a side salad to complete the meal. *If you are substituting manicotti shells, you will need to double the filling as canelloni tubes are 1/2 the size.

Steps:
- For Vegetarian please read step 8 and omit the turkey.
- Preheated oven @ 350F or can be microwaved.
- Oven/microwave proof dish.
- Have the cannelloni cooked and well drained, ready for the filling.
- *If you are substituting manicotti shells, you will need to double the filling as canelloni tubes are 1/2 the size.
- Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and allow it to simmer over a very low heat while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese to a smooth consistency, then add the ricotta cheese and egg.
- Add the oregano, chopped onion and cooked ground turkey.
- ** Finely chopped spinach, partially cooked and very well drained, may be substituted for the turkey.
- With a spatula, fold in the motzarella and parmesean cheeses.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sauce into the bottom of your baking dish.
- To fill the canelloni, use a pastry tube or a plastic bag with one corner cut out. Hold one shell standing open inside the baking dish and pipe in the filling, being careful not to over stuff the shells.
- Lay the filled shells on the sauce, side by side. Bake at 350F for approximately 20 minutes or til heated through. Watch carefully as over heating may cause the cheese filling to spill out from the cannelloni, still tasting delicious but ruining the appearance.
- To serve, place 2 cannelloni on a heated plate, spooning a light amount of sauce over top. Be sure to have extra sauce and fresh grated parmesean cheese on your table for those that desire it.
