    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.

    3

    Pour in the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    4

    Fill the cannelloni tubes with the meat mixture. Use a spoon or a piping bag for easier filling.

    5

    Arrange the filled cannelloni in a lightly greased baking dish. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the cannelloni, then drizzle with heavy cream. Sprinkle generously with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

    6

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and turn golden brown.

    7

    Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve with a side salad.
