Cannelloni

Serves 3

2 onions chopped finely 
1 garlic clove chopped finely 
1 tbsp oil
1 400ml chopped tomatoes 
2  tbsp chopped basil
225g ricotta cheese
1 egg
4 slices of cooked ham
Approx 9 cannelloni tubes
Parmesan cheese 

1)gently heat the oil and fry the onion and garlic until softened 
2)add the chopped tomatoes and basil, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins 
3)whilst the sauce is cooking, lightly grease a large oven proof dish then mix the cheese, egg and ham together in a bowl
4)with a tsp fill the callelloni tubes with the cheese mixture and place in the ovenproof dish (see top tip)
5)cover with the tomato sauce and cover with grated Parmesan cheese and bake in the oven for 45 mins or until the sauce is bubbling 

✔️Top tip: before making the dish, check the cannelloni tubes fit tightly in your ovenproof dish. Easier to do this in advance than when they are filled 👍
