Panneloni (Twist on Canneloni)

This recipe is one of my husbands favourite, it happend quite by accident that I made it this way.  It is a twist on the Italian favourite Canneloni, I didn't have the original pasta noodles so I had to improvice and it worked out so well and so tasty.  We served it with some homemade garlic bread and a fresh garden salad. 

This recipe is exctremely filling and works very well when serving a lot of people...just one warning....don't attempt the recipe is you don't have lots of time, because it does take a lot of effort with all of the preparation and the ingredients....well enjoy.

So here we go:

What would you need

Since I have blogged about three of the magor parts of this recipe I have added the links....they are in the order that you might want to make them and prepare before you can start with the method as I will explain now.

1.  Pancake recipe
2.  Mince recipe
3.  White sauce recipe

and now the assembly method:

1.  Take your pancake and add a good dollop of mince and then roll the pancake until you can't see the mince anymore.

2.  Now take some tomato sauce pour it at the bottom of your oven dish and spread it nice and evenly, then pour some white sauce over the tomato sauce....That is your first layer.  Now you can start putting the filled pancakes on top of the white sauce....start fitting pancakes next to each other and make a layer.

3.  When you have completed one layer pour over some white sauce and then some tomato sauce...

4.  Sprinkle some grated cheese over the tomato sauce and then start making another layer with the filled pancakes.  Depending on your oven dishes it will also depend on how many layers you have..

5.  After you have completed you last layer then cover the pancakes with white sauce and sprinkle some cheese on the top.

6.  Place in the oven at 180C and have the cheese melt and brown.

Enjoy and serve with a fresh green salad & garlic bread.
