Chicken & Broccoli Cannellonii or Ravioli
"These are great for cannelloni but you can also buy wonton wrappers or make fresh pasta to make ravioli. Simply boil the ravioli after assembling. Do not over stuff (a tsp to a 1 1/2 tsp should be more than enough) for about 3-5 minutes. I usually take one out after 3 minutes and try it to avoid over cooking. Cover with the tomato mixture, and parmesan to taste"

T-A-S-T-Y!! I used wonton wrappers instead of cannelloni (sp?)and just kind of eyeballed the amounts. I wasn't sure about draining the tomatoes or not...but everything worked out really well. I added a little goat cheese to the filling at the end. (love the chevre) and it was lovely. I could have eated the whole thing by myself and told the family that I didn't cook!! Ok, I couldn't have eaten it ALL!! It was really good and would be perfect for company. Thanks Chef at Heart -
This was another first for me, working with cannelloni tubes, but once I got the hang of it, it all went together smoothly. This very tasty dish makes for a nice presentation, too! And rave, rave, rave, all over the place ~ You'd think I'd done something OUTSTANDING! Come to think of it....!! Thanks for sharing this very nice treasure! -
This dish is perfect for a dinner party as it's filling and looks great. I made it into a Cannelloni. I halved the serving and didn't change any of the ingredient. I had a little trouble with the instructions but it all worked out with the help from Chef at Heart. Thank you Chef at Heart this was a very yummy dinner
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi,
I am currently taking my masters in social work, but cooking is my passion. I just would not be able to stand the hours working in a restaurant. I would never see my husband. So I am an amateur chef. I judge cooking contests like the Canadian national BBQ tournament etc. and love cooking for friends and family. I have a cookbook in process. Who knows if I will ever try to publish it but I will definitely give it as gifts to friends and family. My favourite parties to host are theme parties eg. I Okboberfest, Mexican and Thai etc. I generally do the research and each person can either choose from the recipes I have found or bring one of their own. I like to give the option since a lot of people don't necessarily have any recipes for that particular theme party.
Anyway its fun. I nice break from University and a really good excuse to get together with friends and family.
My other favourite things are gardening, knitting, sports and fitness. I also volunteer for a nursing home working with altzheimers and senile dementia patients, and for big sisters and I work part time for Planned Family Networks matching young adults with mental and / or physical challenges with a network of people they can count on when their parents can no longer take care of them.
FYI This was the only day I've ever had straight hair. It was great while it lasted but I'm not spending an hour staightening it whan I can shower and do practically nothing by leaving it curly.
