Cannelloni of Crespelle with Ricotta and Spinach
Represent a rich and tasty first course. These are crepe cannoli stuffed with a classic spinach and ricotta filling, wrapped in a velvety béchamel sauce and au gratin in the oven, obtaining a golden and irresistibly crunchy crust. The recipe, as simple as it is delicious, will be made in a revisited version, using crepes instead of the original fresh pasta. This traditional dish consists of rolled egg pasta stuffed with meat or cottage cheese, covered with béchamel sauce and a middle layer of tomato sauce. In the 60s/70s, it reached the height of success, becoming a classic of Sundays with the family, loved and appreciated from north to south. This type of stuffed pasta in the Italian gastronomic scene has seen the light of day in fairly recent times, unlike other variants of stuffed pasta. Now let's see what we need to make our Crespelle Cannelloni with Ricotta and Spinach.
Ingredients for the crepes
200 grams of white flour
4 eggs
500 ml of milk
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
salt
a knob of butter
You will also need
250 grams of ricotta cheese
250 grams of boiled spinach
1 clove of garlic
extra virgin olive oil
salt
100 grams mozzarella
1 pack of Tomato Sauce
Ingredients for the béchamel sauce
1 liter of milk
100 grams of butter + a tablespoon for browning the cannelloni
120 grams of white flour
salt
nutmeg
Steps
Prepare the crepes by placing the 4 eggs in the planetary mixer with a pinch of salt and start whipping them. Add the oil, milk and gradually the flour, taking great care to avoid the formation of lumps. We add, to taste, the grated nutmeg. Once ready, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour. Now let's move on to making the béchamel sauce: put the butter in a saucepan, bring to the heat and melt; Add the 120 grams of 00 white flour and mix carefully with a whisk. When our roux is golden, add the previously heated milk in a trickle, stirring constantly, and mix carefully until you get a velvety sauce. Prepare the filling by chopping the spinach with a half moon or a food processor. In a pan, put a drizzle of oil, a clove of garlic and let it flavor. Add the boiled and chopped spinach and cook for about 15 minutes. Add the ricotta to the spinach and season with salt. Prepare the crepes and put a knob of butter in a non-stick pan, let it melt and pour a ladle of batter, making sure to spread it well throughout the pan. When the edges of the crepe begin to color, turn it over and finish cooking. Continue to prepare the crepes until the dough is used up. In the center of each crepe put the spinach filling, a small piece of mozzarella and close the cannellone style. Arrange the cannelloni in a baking dish, cover with the béchamel sauce and distribute the Tomato Sauce on top of the béchamel. Bake at 200 degrees until golden brown. Our Crepe Cannelloni with Ricotta and Spinach with Tomato Sauce are to be served.
Cannelloni with Cotechino Ragout
Are a rich and enveloping first course, which combines comfort food with refinement. This recipe is an original and creative proposal, perfect for a festive menu: it is fresh pasta cannelloni filled with a full-bodied sauce with a strong taste based on cotechino, wrapped in a velvety béchamel sauce and embellished with Toma Piemontese, a cheese with a sweet and pleasant flavor, with delicate slightly salty and acidulous notes. Finally, everything is au gratin in the oven, obtaining a golden and irresistibly crunchy crust. Stuffed cannelloni are among the symbolic dishes of festive menus: a dish loved all over the world, which each Italian region interprets with different fillings, evoking childhood memories and genuine pleasures. In this version, the filling starts with a classic ragout prepared with a sauté of onion, celery and carrots, to which is added cooked and knife-chopped cotechino. Everything is blended with red wine, enriched with tomato sauce and an inevitable touch of chilli. Like many traditional recipes, it requires slow cooking, but believe me, it's really worth it! This dish is inspired by the classic Bolognese meat cannelloni, a symbol of the Emilian tradition, together with lasagna and tortellini, cornerstones of Emilian cuisine made with fresh egg pasta, minced meat and béchamel sauce. Now let's see what we need to make our Cannelloni with Cotechino Ragout.
Ingredients for the puff pastry
400 grams of white flour
4 eggs
a pinch of salt
Ingredients for the béchamel sauce
1 liter of milk
100 grams of Butter + a tablespoon for browning the cannelloni
120 grams of white flour
salt
nutmeg
Ingredients for the tomato sauce
1 kg of ripe tomatoes
an onion
2 carrots
a celery stalk
basil leaves
1 clove of garlic
You will also need
1 precooked cotechino weighing 500 grams
Mixed for sautéing: 1 celery stalk, 2 carrots, 1 onion
1 sprig of rosemary
salt
EVTRA virgin olive oil
Toma Piemontese
Preparation
Let's prepare the tomato sauce: wash the ripe tomatoes well under running water, cut them into cubes and put them in a pot together with the carrots, a large onion (or two small ones) and a celery stalk cut into small pieces. Let's bring everything to the fire. Cook over low heat for about an hour, then, with an immersion blender, reduce the mixture to a puree. Now let's move on to the preparation of the béchamel sauce. In a saucepan, put the butter and bring to the heat to melt. Add the 120 grams of white flour and mix with a whisk, taking care to avoid lumps.
When our roux turns golden, add the previously heated milk, pouring it slowly and stirring constantly, until you get a velvety sauce. Now let's move on to the preparation of the pasta. In the planetary mixer, put 400 grams of 00 white flour, 4 eggs and a pinch of salt, then start kneading.
Knead the dough until it has a smooth and homogeneous consistency, then transfer it to the work table, cover with an upside-down bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes. After the resting time, roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut it into rectangles. Blanch them in boiling salted water for a minute, then cool them by spreading them on a cloth. Now let's prepare the meat sauce. Let's start by cooking the precooked cotechino: immerse the vacuum bag in cold water and, from the moment it boils, cook it for the time indicated on the package. When the cotechino is ready, remove it from the package, remove the casing and cut it into thin slices with a knife. Wash and peel the vegetables, then cut them into thin cubes. In a large saucepan, put a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, add the vegetables and a sprig of rosemary, and let it flavor. Add the cotechino, deglaze with a glass of red wine and, when the wine has evaporated, add the tomato puree. Season with salt and, if you like, black pepper. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat. (As with any ragù, the goodness depends on the cooking time: the longer it is, the tastier the ragù will be; indicatively, an hour of cooking is ideal). Take a rectangle of lasagna dough and stuff it with our meat sauce. Add a few pieces of Toma Piemontese, roll up and arrange the cannelloni in a baking dish. On the base of the baking dish, pour a drizzle of béchamel sauce, add a few more flakes of Toma Piemontese and a little tomato sauce. Proceed like this until you run out of ingredients. Sprinkle the surface with Grana Padano, another Toma Piemontese and a few flakes of butter. Bake at 180°C until golden brown. Our Cannelloni with Cotechino Ragout and Toma Piemontese are ready to be served!
Risotto with Blueberries and Scampi
Is a refined and elegant proposal, perfect for those looking for a first course with an original and elegant flavor. This delicious reinterpretation of the classic rose risotto stands out thanks to the Damask rose petals, which give the dish a unique floral aroma. Ideal for festive lunches and dinners, it is the right choice for those who want to amaze with class and a touch of originality. Preparing this risotto is simple: melt a knob of butter in a saucepan, toast the rice, deglaze it with white wine and proceed as for a classic risotto, using meat or vegetable broth. The great advantage of this preparation is that, with just a few gestures, it allows you to bring a refined dish to the table, perfect for surprising your guests. This dish gives pleasant taste sensations, combining sweetness and refinement. The iridescent shade of red, pink and violet of blueberries, together with the delicate flavor of scampi, creates a perfect harmony, capable of conquering even the most demanding palates. The langoustines add an extra touch of elegance: their soft and sweet white meats go wonderfully with the floral notes of rose petals and the acidity of blueberries. The result is an explosion of taste, an encounter between flavors that enchants and surprises. Now let's see what you need to make our Risotto with Blueberries and Scampi.
Ingredients
1 pack of Blueberry and Risotto
a knob of butter
1/2 glass dry white wine

1/2 lemon
1 clove of garlic
For the fish stock
disguise the head and the carapace
1 small glass of cognac
1 liter of water
1 spring onion
garlic
parsley a bunch

Steps
Remove the carapace from the langoustines, remove the intestines and rinse them under running water. With the heads and carapaces we prepare a fish stock: in a saucepan heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, add the sliced spring onion and the peeled and crushed garlic, browning them over high heat. Add the scampi scraps and blend with the cognac. Add parsley, water, a pinch of salt, a few peppercorns and two tablespoons of tomato paste. Cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes. In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil with a clove of garlic to flavor. When the garlic is golden, remove it and add the scampi, cooking them for a minute on each side. Deglaze with the juice of a lemon and set aside. In a saucepan, melt a knob of butter, add the Blueberry and Risotto Mix and toast for a couple of minutes. Deglaze with white wine and cover with the fish stock. Cook, stirring occasionally: it will take about 16 minutes. At the end of cooking, turn off the heat and plate the risotto, placing the scampi on top.
Pumpkin Tortelli
Are an irresistible proposal for a first course of stuffed pasta. This dish, rich and inviting, represents a specialty of the winter season, a typical delicacy of the Lombard tradition and, in particular, of the city of Mantua. Traditionally eaten on December 24th, Christmas Eve, pumpkin tortelli are a festive recipe that has its roots in the peasant tradition, when lean ingredients were used in the kitchen. Also known as "Turtell Mantovano", the dish consists of a thin shell of fresh egg pasta, easy to prepare, which wraps a rich filling of pumpkin, amaretti, fruit mustard, grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a touch of nutmeg, which goes perfectly with a simple sage-scented butter dressing. It is the ideal dish to delight guests during an important festive lunch or to surprise loved ones with the classic Sunday lunch. From the very first taste, our tortelli gently pamper the palate, impressing with their filling and providing a complete culinary experience. The contrast between the sweet flavor of pumpkin and the spicy, savory fragrance of fruit mustard creates a perfect balance between sweetness, flavor and delicacy, resulting in a harmony of flavors. Now let's see what we need to make our Pumpkin Tortelli.
Ingredients for the puff pastry
500 grams of semolina flour
2 eggs
1/2 glass of warm water
salt
Ingredients for the filling
Pumpkin Preparation
200 grams of fruit mustard
150 grams of grated Grana Padano cheese
80 grams of amaretti biscuits
Ingredients for the dressing
butter to taste
sage
Preparation
Prepare the pasta for the ravioli by putting 500 grams of semolina flour, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt and half a glass of warm water in the planetary mixer. We operate the mixer and work until we get a smooth, homogeneous and well-blended dough. Cover with a napkin and let it rest for 30 minutes. Now let's move on to the filling: pour the jar of Pumpkin into a bowl, add the mustard cut into small pieces, the crumbled amaretti biscuits and the grated cheese. If the dough is too soft, add crumbled amaretti biscuits and increase the dose of grated cheese. Cover the bowl and put in the refrigerator to cool. Take the dough, divide it into 4-5 parts and, with the help of a pasta machine, roll out fairly thin sheets. If we don't have the "grandmother duck", we can roll out the dough with a rolling pin. On the pastry place a knob of filling, close carefully and form the ravioli with a pastry cutter. Place the ravioli on a tray sprinkled with durum wheat semolina. Bring a pot with plenty of salted water to a boil, cook the ravioli for a couple of minutes, drain them and transfer them to the pan where we have melted the butter with the sage leaves. Add the grated Grana Padano and serve the ravioli while still hot.
