Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10 sheets of lasagna
  • 10 medium-size sausages
  • 1 cup grated cheese eg. mozzarella, parmesan, gruyère, cheddar, emmental, etc.
  • 1 cup (optional) of fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cub (optional) baby spinach

Pink Pasta sauce

  • 1 cup of crême fraiche or heavy cream
  • 1 cup of tomato coulis or tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook the sausages in a large pan (or an air fryer) for about 10 minutes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients for the pink sauce.
  • Put the lasagne sheets into a pan of with warm water one at a time to prevent them sticking together. Let them sit for 5-6 mins until soft enough to roll up (but not fully cooked).
  • (Optional) Wipe any dirt off the mushrooms and spinach and chop into small pieces.
  • In a large rectangular casserole dish, add a layer of sauce to the bottom.
  • Gently take a lasagna sheet, place a cooked sausage in between, and place the lasagna roll down in the casserole dish.
  • Repeat for the rest of lasagna sheets and sausages, until the bottom of the casserole dish is covered.
  • Preheat the oven at 400°F (200°C).
  • Layer any optional veggies on top of the canelloni rolls and top with a handful of cheese and 2-3 spoonfuls of pink sauce until covered.
  • If you have any lasagna sheets and sausages left (depending on the size of your casserole dish), make a second layer of sausages in lasagna sheets.
  • Top the cannelloni rolls with the pink sauce mix.
  • Sprinkle the top layer with shredded cheese, added liberally.
  • Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese on top looks cooked and golden brown.
  • Serve while warm.
