Indulge in the rich flavors of Italian home cooking with Cannelloni di Ricotta e Ribs, a comforting dish that's sure to delight your taste buds tonight!

1

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the cannelloni according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ribs and brown them on all sides, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

5

Add the cooked ribs back to the skillet, along with the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and basil. Simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6

In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the egg and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.

7

Stuff each cannelloni tube with the ricotta mixture and place them in a baking dish.

8

Pour the rib sauce over the stuffed cannelloni, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top.

9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

10

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cannelloni di Ricotta e Ribs!
