Cannelloni with beef and apple - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of ground meat?

Absolutely! Ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based ground can be substituted for the beef. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure the meat is fully cooked or the plant-based ground is heated through.

What if I don't have cannelloni pasta? Can I use something else?

Yes, you can substitute with manicotti shells or even lasagna noodles. If using lasagna noodles, you'll want to precook them slightly, then roll them up with the filling and arrange them in the baking dish.

How long can I store leftover cannelloni in the refrigerator?

Leftover cannelloni can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Can I freeze the cannelloni?

Yes, cannelloni freeze well. Assemble the cannelloni, but don't bake. Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be baked directly from frozen; just add about 15-20 minutes to the baking time.

I'm vegetarian. How can I adapt this recipe?

Substitute the ground beef with a mix of lentils, chopped mushrooms, and cooked spinach. You can also use a vegetarian ricotta cheese or a plant-based cream alternative.

What kind of cheese works best for topping the cannelloni?

A blend of mozzarella and Parmesan is classic and delicious. Provolone or Asiago would also work well.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This can save time when assembling the cannelloni.

What's a good side dish to serve with cannelloni?

A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette dressing or some steamed vegetables complements the richness of the cannelloni perfectly.
