Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the tomato sauce: blanch the tomatoes, peel them, and chop. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the tomatoes over low heat, mashing with a spatula for 15 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, transfer it to a blender, and blend. Add sugar, salt, and mix again.

Step 2

Prepare the filling: finely chop the mushrooms, onion, fish, and hard-boiled eggs. Heat the butter in a pan, add the mushrooms and lemon juice. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onion, and cook over low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove the pan from heat and add 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, tuna, mushrooms, and eggs. Taste and season with salt.

Step 4

If you are using ready-made cannelloni, follow the cooking instructions on the package (it’s better to choose those that do not require pre-cooking — if you have such, drain the water well before stuffing them). If you are using pasta sheets, simply lay them out on the table and wrap the filling inside. Cannelloni can be stuffed using a teaspoon from your own pinky. Place the resulting stuffed tubes in a baking dish.

Step 5

Make a thick béchamel sauce: melt the butter with the vegetable oil in a saucepan. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the flour. Return the pot to the stove and gradually pour in the milk, stirring the mixture thoroughly, and bring to a boil while constantly stirring. Add salt to taste and simmer over low heat, stirring, for 8-10 minutes. Then add 3-4 tablespoons of tomato sauce to make the béchamel pink.

Step 6

Pour the resulting pink sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle with grated cheese and place pieces of butter on top. Place in a preheated oven at 392°F and bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove the dish from the oven. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
