400 g cannelloni tubes these are the perfect vessels for your delicious filling.

100 g grated cheese (e.g., mozzarella or parmesan) creates a gooey and crispy top layer for your baked dish.
300 ml tomato sauce keeps the dish moist and infuses a rich flavor throughout.

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Gather your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
In a large skillet, add your ground meat over medium heat. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Once the meat is cooked, stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and 300ml of tomato sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat.
In a separate bowl, mix the meat mixture with 250g of ricotta cheese and half of the grated cheese. Stir until combined.
Stuff each cannelloni tube with the meat and cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Spread a layer of tomato sauce at the bottom of a baking dish (about 100ml) to prevent sticking.
Arrange the stuffed cannelloni in the dish and pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the dish to create a crispy topping.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Let the baked cannelloni rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Use quality meat and avoid overfilling the tubes. Let the dish rest before serving for easier slicing.
