Steps:
- In a large frying pan, add olive oil and about half of the crushed garlic. Cook for a minute before adding the peppers and onions. Cook on high heat for a few minutes until they start to brown. Then reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 more minutes. While the onions and peppers are cooking, add in a little of the tomato juice from the can. This will ensure they soften while they cook and not burn. Add tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the liquid in the tomatoes reduces by half. This will take around 10-12 minutes. Stir as it cooks. At this point taste your sauce and see if it is bitter at all. If so, add about a teaspoon of sugar. Stir well and leave to simmer for a few more minutes. Once you have finished this, add the mixture to the blender and blend in batches until you have a smooth sauce. Flavours can be adjusted once you have made your sauce with additional herbs, salt, pepper, sugar....
- Heat the reserved skillet and add a little olive oil and remaining garlic. Add in chicken and brown for just about 3 - 5 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until it has completed wilted. Remove from heat. Add prepared sauce to the chicken and spinach mixture.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium to high heat, melt butter until sizzling. Whisk in flour until you have a paste. Gradually start whisking in your milk. Continue doing this until you have added all the milk and you have a slightly thickened sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and add most of the cheese, both kinds, reserving a little for the top. Stir really well until all the cheese has melted into the sauce. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper and add the chopped parsley. Stir and remove from heat.
- Using a spoon, fill the cannelloni tubes with the chicken spinach filling. Repeat for all tubes. Place the filled tubes in a large deep sided baking dish. Use two pans if one isn't big enough. Evenly pour over the sauce. Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven of 350 degrees for around 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from over and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN CANNELLONI
Our Chicken Cannelloni may be a labor of love, but rest assured, this is one great love story. We stuff homemade pasta sheets with a creamy ricotta, shredded chicken, and spinach, cover in our favorite marinara sauce, and gooey fresh mozzarella cheese and then bake until bubbly and you can no longer handle the smells permeating throughout your house.

Steps:
- Add 2 3/4 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a food processor. Pulse a few times. Add eggs to a liquid measuring cup. Whisk to combine. While pulsing the flour, slowly add the egg mixture through the feeding tube. Continue to pulse until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough does not form a ball, add water a teaspoon at a time until it does.
- Leave the mixer on for 2-3 minutes with the dough in it. This will help knead it. Remove the ball, lightly dust with flour and knead for another 3-4 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes at room temeparature.
- While the dough rests, make the filling. Add spinach to a medium skillet. Heat over a medium flame, stir until spinach wilts. Cool completely. If there is any excess moisture, drain or gently squeeze out of the spinach. Add chicken, ricotta, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1/2 tsp salt, nutmeg, egg, pepper, and cooled spinach to a large bowl. Mix to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Once the dough has rested, cut it into four different pieces. Take one piece and lightly dust it in flour. Cover the rest of the dough in plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out so it's thin enough to fit through the pasta maker. Roll the dough through the pasta maker set on its widest setting. Roll the pasta through the pasta maker again, this time at the next setting. Repeat until you get to the second smallest setting (it's a two on my pasta maker). Repeat with remaining dough.
- Store the pasta sheets on a baking sheet dusted lightly with flour. Cut the pasta into 12, 4 1/2 x 5 1/2-inch rectangles. It's okay if they aren't exact.
- Grease a 9x12 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour enough marinara in the bottom of the pan to generously coat it. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure out a about 1/4 cup of the filling on to the top of each pasta sheet, horizontally. Roll the pasta up jelly-roll style and place in the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat for all 12 sheets. Pour remaining sauce on top. Cover with foil and bake in the oven until the pasta is cooked through, about 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil from the cannelloni, and sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining parmesan cheese. Place back in the oven and bake until cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh parsley.

CHICKEN CANNELLONI (WITH OR WITHOUT SPINACH)
I'm not even sure where this recipe came from, it's been around so long. It sounds complicated, but it's really pretty simple, and goes together pretty quickly. And leftovers are great! If I'm making this for grownups, I add spinach, but if it's a family meal, I leave the spinach out. Sometimes, I will let the chicken marinate in white wine and thyme overnight before I begin.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, simmer the chicken breasts, onion, broth, wine, and thyme, until chicken is done.
- Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and allow them to cool slightly.
- While the chicken breasts are cooling, strain the chicken broth to remove the onions and thyme.
- Reserve the broth into a large saucepan.
- Put the onions and thyme into your food processor.
- Chop or tear the chicken into big chunks, and put into food processor with the onions and thyme.
- Pulse the chicken in the food processor until finely chopped (you may need to divide the chicken into 2 batches).
- (I've also used my old, heavy meat grinder for this).
- Prepare spinach, if using. Wash well, chop, and lightly sauté in a saucepan with 2 tbs olive oil until done to your preference. I personally don't like "mushy" spinach. You may also substitute frozen chopped spinach, but be sure to squeeze it out really well.
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken/onion mixture with the ricotta and cottage cheese, spinach, 1/2 c parmesan, nutmeg, and white pepper.
- Mix thoroughly; set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter.
- Whisk in flour, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
- Whisk in the reserved chicken broth, stirring constantly.
- Add the wine, and then the milk, stirring constantly, until sauce is velvety-smooth.
- Simmer, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes, while you start to assemble the canneloni.
- Assemble the canneloni: Lay 4-5 egg roll wraps out on the counter.
- Place approx 1/2 to 1 cup of chicken/cheese filling on center of wrap, and roll up, setting aside.
- Repeat until you're done.
- When sauce is done simmering, pour approx 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Tilt, to make sure it's spread evenly.
- Arrange canneloni in dish, and top with remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup parmesan.
- Cover with foil, and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
- During last 10 minutes, take the foil off so that the parmesan browns.
- Allow to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

I made this recipe for the first time about 20 years ago. It is always a big hit and makes a nice change from tomato sauce.
