Cannelloni with Bolognese Sauce
Cannelloni pasta is shaped like thick tubes and is used to make various stuffed pasta dishes. Usually, the filled cannelloni are covered with different sauces and baked until the surface of the sauce is browned, and the cannelloni are al dente tender. I prepared cannelloni with classic Bolognese sauce and topped them with a cream-crushed tomato and Parmesan sauce.

Preparation time: Making Bolognese sauce is a very long process, but once it’s ready, allow about 45 minutes to prepare the cannelloni.
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: Four to six
Ingredients:
About 800 g Bolognese sauce (see recipe: https://andrestover.com/ee/pasta-alla-bolognese/)
250 g cannelloni pasta
200 ml whipping cream
400 g can of crushed tomatoes
100 g grated Parmesan, plus a little extra for sprinkling and serving
Sea salt
Black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp dried thyme
About 50 g of butter
Preparation:
- Fill the cannelloni tubes with cold Bolognese sauce using a spoon, as cold sauce holds its shape better.
- Arrange the filled cannelloni in a single layer in an ovenproof dish.
- Mix the cream, crushed tomatoes, cheese, and seasonings.
- Pour the mixture over the cannelloni, add the chopped butter, and sprinkle with a handful of Parmesan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20–25 minutes until the top layer of sauce is browned, and the cannelloni are almost tender when tested with a knife. The degree of softness depends on personal preference; I made mine slightly al dente.
When serving, sprinkle with black pepper and, if desired, fresh parsley.
Ready!!
