ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPINACH CANNELLONI
This is the recipe I made (and froze) for my husband and my first night in our apartment after we got married. It comes from Land O'Lakes Recipe Collection Pasta! published in 1992. My mom made this when I was younger, and my sister and I requested it simply for the tomato sauce on pasta. To avoid having to boil the manicotti tubes, simply double the bechamel and tomato sauces. I've made it that way and it works perfectly. Otherwise the noodles tend to stick together closed making filling them impossible. This recipe is completely worth the time and effort!

Steps:
- Cook manicotti according to package directions; drain. Set aside. (Or don't and increase the sauce measurements. If increasing the sauce measurements you may want to use a roaster or a deeper pan.).
- To prepare tomato sauce: In Dutch oven (or large heavy saucepan) add olive oil and 1 cup onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until onions are soft (5-8 minutes). Add tomatoes, reserved juice, and all remaining sauce ingredients (tomato paste, basil, sugar, 1/2 t salt, and 1/4 t pepper). Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce just comes to a boil (2-4 minutes). Cover; reduce heat to low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to prepare filling: in 10-inch skillet add sausage, 1/4 cup onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sausage is browned (10-12 minutes). Drain off fat. Add spinach. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until spinach is soft (2-3 minutes). Place sausage mixture in large bowl. Cool 10 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan, eggs, oregano, and 1/4 t pepper. Set aside.
- To prepare bechamel sauce: in 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth and bubbly (1 minute). Add milk, whipping cream, and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens (5-8 minutes).
- Heat oven to 375. Divide filling between manicotti tubes using a small spoon to fill each tube with about 2 T of filling (I use my clean hands--think stuffing a roll of coins). Place 1/4 cup tomato sauce on bottom of 13x9x2-inch baking pan (more if you don't boil the noodles and in a deeper pan). Place filled tubes on top of tomato sauce. Pour bechamel sauce over tubes. Top with remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
- **This is a great OAMC recipe. Before cooking/prep day, I would prepare the tomato sauce and sausage/spinach filling mixture and chill (I would prepare the tomato sauce anyway to serve as a pasta sauce--I could literally drink the stuff!). Make the bechamel sauce the day of your big session. Fill the tubes and prep the pans. Cook 45 minutes (Covered!), wrap in foil and freeze. On "eating day," cook at 375 until tubes are al dente (they probably already will be) and bubbly and cheese is melted. I would keep it covered for most of the cooking time. This is a very very rich recipe, so I would serve with a salad of bitter greens tossed in a sharp vinaigrette. It says it serves 8, but, as I said, the sauces are so rich that I can't really eat more than one tube, so I would say it serves 14.

Steps:
- In large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion until fragrant and translucent. Add the Italian sausage meat, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon and brown it until no longer pink. About 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the excess fat from the sausage meat, and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl stir together the drained and squeeze-dried spinach, ricotta, 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, eggs, cooled Italian sausage and onion mixture, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Place the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fresh pasta rectangles for 1 minute and remove with slotted spatula. Set aside.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread 2 cups tomato sauce. Working with 1 pasta rectangle at a time, spread 6 tablespoons filling along one edge and roll the pasta sheet up tightly, leaving the ends open. Repeat until you have 8 cannelloni.
- Arrange the prepared cannelloni, seam side down, in a single layer in the baking dish. Spoon the remaining 2 cups tomato sauce evenly over the cannelloni. drizzle edges of pasta with olive oil to crisp. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over the top.
- Bake the cannelloni for 30 minutes and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- To make the fresh pasta dough:.
- Mound the flour on a clean work surface. Hollow out the center making a well in the middle of the flour with steep sides. Not too steep or will cave in Make big enough well for ingredients.
- Break the eggs into the well. Add the salt, and olive oil to the hollow center and gently mix together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour by pulling in the flour from the sides of the well. As you incorporate more of the flour, the dough will start to take shape.
- With your hands or a bench scraper continue working the dough until it comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a little water. If too wet or sticky, add a little flour.
- Begin kneading the dough and keep kneading until it becomes smooth and elastic. About 6-10 minutes. At this point, set the dough aside, cover it with plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes. (in refrigerator) You can store the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. But allow it to return to room temperature before rolling it out.
- Divide the pasta dough into 4 even sections. Keep each section covered with plastic wrap or a clean towel while you work with each one. Flour the dough, the rollers of a pasta roller (or your rolling pin). Your hands, and the work surface. You eventually will have 8 canneloni sometimes I roll out and then cut each in half other times it is too hard and I cut in half before I roll out.
- If using a pasta machine. flatten 1 of the dough pieces between your hands or with a floured rolling pin until it forms a thick oval disk. Dust the disk, the roller, and your hands with additional flour. Flour a baking sheet to hold the rolled out finished pasta.
- With the roller on the widest setting, pass the pasta through the machine's rollers a few times until it is smooth again. Begin adjusting the pasta machine settings to become thinner, passing the dough through 2 times at each setting.
- If rolling the pasta by hand: flatten a dough piece into a thick oval disk with your hands. Flour a baking sheet for the rolled out finished pasta. Place the oval dough disk on a floured work surface, and sprinkle the additional flour. Begin rolling out the dough with a floured rolling pin working from the center of the dough outwards, constantly moving the dough and lifting it to make sure it's not sticking.
- To Make the Simple Tomato Sauce.
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, and garlic and cook until soft and golden brown. Add the basil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Add the canned tomato with their juices and bring to boil. stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. With a potato masher, break up the tomatoes to achieve a sauce-like consistency.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.
- Cook's Note: Tomato sauce will last 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.
