COPYCAT OLIVE GARDEN CANNELLONI RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic until soft and translucent.
• Add the beef and pork to the pan. Stir well and break up any large chunks of meat. Continue sautéing until no longer pink.
• Deglaze with red wine and reduce for about 1 minute before adding in the beef broth, Italian seasoning, and bay leaf.
• Allow the pan to come to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook for 15 additional minutes, then discard the bay leaf.
• Season to taste with salt and ground pepper. Adjust accordingly and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Whisk in the flour for 2 minutes before adding the milk.
• Let simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened before adding the parsley and ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Set aside.
• Transfer the meat mixture into a large mixing bowl along with the egg yolks. Stir well to combine, then add in the cheese sauce.
• Spread the marinara sauce into the bottom of your preferred baking dish.
• Take the cooked cannelloni noodles and spoon about ¼ cup of the beef and cheese mixture down the center of the cannelloni.
• Lay the stuffed cannelloni in a single layer at the bottom of the dish.
• Repeat with the remaining marinara sauce and stuffed cannelloni, stacking the noodles as needed.
• Pour any remaining beef and cheese mixture on top followed by the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes, then set into the broiler for 2 minutes.
• Remove once the top is golden brown and garnish with parsley. Serve and enjoy!
