Pasta stuffed with minced meat is a dish popular in Italy, but has taken root well in other cuisines of the world. In Italy, you can use special hollow pasta tubes - cannelloni or their varieties - to prepare this dish.
There are two ways to prepare stuffed pasta:
- the first method is when raw pasta is stuffed and then baked in sauce
- the second method is when the pasta is first boiled a little, then stuffed and also baked
Moreover, two different sauces are usually used for baking pasta stuffed with minced meat: tomato sauce or Béchamel sauce.
It is preferable to use minced pork and beef, double scrolled in a meat grinder. Well, we know all the secrets, we can get started. I will cook pasta the second way in Bechamel sauce.
My pasta is not classic cannelloni, but a derivative of it, and other hollow pasta, if desired.
First of all, put a pan of water on the fire, add salt to it and let the water boil, we will lightly boil the pasta. I find it easier to stuff soft pasta.
In the meantime, prepare the minced meat. To do this, heat 10 g of butter in a frying pan and fry finely grated carrots and finely chopped onions for 5 minutes, stirring. Then add minced meat, salt and ground black pepper.
Fry the filling for another 10-15 minutes until the minced meat turns gray and the liquid released by the minced meat has evaporated.
IMPORTANT: During the process of frying the filling, you need to break up any lumps of minced meat with a fork so that the minced meat is homogeneous. Sometimes I puree the prepared minced meat in a blender until completely homogeneous. It’s better for them to stuff pasta this way; it holds its shape better.
Throw our pasta into boiling water. Cook them for half the time indicated on the package. I cooked for 5 minutes. Then we throw the pasta into a colander and rinse with cold water, this is necessary so that the pasta does not stick together and cools faster. As soon as the pasta becomes warm and you can pick it up, carefully stuff the pasta with minced meat, do not stuff the tubes too tightly.
I will be preparing the stuffed pasta in portions, so I place it in portioned refractory pans.
This is what I ended up with. You can place the stuffed pasta in a large baking dish, it doesn't matter.
All we have to do is prepare the sauce in which we will bake our stuffed pasta.
Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan and add flour; using a spoon, mix the flour and butter well to form a paste. Pour the cream into the pan and stir the sauce well with a spatula until smooth. You can use a whisk for this.
Add salt to taste and grate a little nutmeg. Let the sauce thicken, this will happen in literally 2-3 minutes, be sure to stir the sauce all this time. Remove the sauce from the heat.
Pour the resulting Bechamel sauce over our pasta. Place the pasta pan in an oven preheated to 170 degrees C for 20-25 minutes.
Pasta stuffed with minced meat is ready!!!
You can serve it to the table right away in hot molds, or you can place the pasta stuffed with minced meat on portioned plates.
Bon appetit!
Filled pasta can be cooked not only in the oven, but also in a frying pan. Using the second option, you can quickly prepare lunch or dinner. I choose large pasta, namely tubes or shells. These products are quite dense, so they do not boil too much.
For the filling I use minced meat. If desired, you can supplement it with boiled cereals, then the dish will turn out twice as satisfying. I fry the onions until soft, they add flavor to the meat. You don't need to add a raw egg to the filling. During stewing, the minced meat does not float out of the pasta.
But for the sauce, I recommend using full-fat sour cream or cream. The fermented milk product softens both minced meat and pasta well. At the end of cooking, sprinkle with grated cheese. And I serve the stuffed pasta tubes hot. Since they are large, I cut them with a knife into 2-3 pieces.

Hello dear readers website
Last night I racked my brains for a long time about what to cook something delicious. I dug a little into recipes and decided that I wanted to cook stuffed pasta minced meat. True, there is a slight tautology in the name of the recipe, but the taste does not suffer from this, and in cooking this is the main thing. In my stuffed pasta recipe There was also bell pepper, but, unfortunately, I didn’t have it in stock, and I didn’t want to run to the store in 30-degree frost just because of one pepper. Today our Siberia was covered by Epiphany frosts, again folk signs did not let us down, well, at least for one year we can do without them. So, forgive me generously, I will cook pasta without this component.
To make pasta I need
- Large pasta – 200g.
- Minced meat - 500 gr.
- Onion -2 pcs.
- Tomato -2 pcs.
- Carrots – 1 large
- Garlic -3-4 cloves
- Sour cream -2-3 tbsp. spoons
- Salt, pepper, herbs
First of all, I'll put the boots on to boil. My water boiled, I salted it and put the pasta into the boiling water, stirring it occasionally with a spoon so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom. I cook them until half cooked, no more than 4-5 minutes, put them in a colander, and let the excess water drain.
First I will do some preparatory work, and then I will start filling. N I cut the onion finely and decided to chop both onions at once, even though they will not be used at the same time. In the process, I remembered the children's riddle “Grandfather is sitting, dressed in a hundred fur coats, whoever undresses him sheds bitter tears.” You already understood that I managed to cry while I defeated both onions.
I'm moving on to other more friendly products. I grated the carrots on a coarse grater and set them aside to wait for my turn.
I chopped the tomato into small cubes so that they would boil faster. When there are no fresh tomatoes in the house, you can use tomato paste, ketchup and canned tomatoes. Literally anything will do.
Now I'll start preparing the filling for the pasta. I already have the minced meat ready, I cooked it in advance. I put it in a frying pan and fry half the chopped onion in oil. I add minced meat to the onion and fry it together with the onion until half cooked. No more than 5-7 minutes. I put the minced meat on a plate and let it cool a little.
Then I take the boots and put minced meat inside each one. I place the boots in a frying pan or in a baking dish, grease the bottom a little with oil so that the pasta does not stick.
Now that all the boots are already stuffed
and placed in a frying pan, I will prepare the sauce.
Fry the other half of the onion in a frying pan,
I add carrots and tomatoes to it.
Stir and fry everything together for 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of flour
then 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream
I mix everything, add water to the pan, let it boil, close the lid, reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 5-6 minutes. I almost forgot to add salt and pepper to the sauce. You can add any seasoning to it to suit your taste.
The sauce is ready, pour the sauce on top of the pasta. So that the pasta is hidden under the sauce; if there is not enough of it, the tops of the pasta will become stale. If necessary, you can add water.
I put the pan in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20 minutes. After this time, take out the frying pan, put the pasta on plates and serve.I tried for a very long time to take a more or less decent photo macaron stuffed with minced meat. This is probably just the case when the taste of a dish is much better than its appearance. I couldn’t take a more appetizing and tasty photo, and somewhere after the 20th or 30th frame I just gave up.
Well, that’s it, they’re ready, and by the time the article is published, they’ve already been eaten. Try this pasta recipe, you won't regret it.
For lovers of “stuffed” recipes, I would like to recommend one more, it turned out delicious, my family really liked it.
