Ricotta Cannelloni Bolognese Bake

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
500g quality minced beef
1 brown onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 tins x whole peeled tomatoes
200ml red wine (or water)
1 x 500g tub Perfect Italiano Ricotta
Zest of one lemon
200g cannelloni
150g Perfect Italiano Grated Perfect Bakes Cheese

Method:

Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the mince and use a wooden spoon to break up. Continue to stir and cook for 5 minutes or until the mince has browned. Add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and continue to fry for another 10 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Add the tomatoes and wine (or water) and stir, breaking up tomatoes with the back of the wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring regularly. Season to taste and set aside to cool slightly
Preheat the oven to 180°C
To prepare the cannelloni, mix the Perfect Italiano Ricotta with the lemon zest, and then season with salt and pepper. Carefully fill the cannelloni with the ricotta using a knife or piping bag
Spoon half of the Bolognese into a large baking dish and then gently lay the filled cannelloni into the dish. Top the cannelloni with the remaining Bolognese and then sprinkle over the Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes Cheese. Place the dish into the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until golden and bubbling
Remove from the oven, and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving
