Ingredients for 4 people
8 Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach
150 g butter
100 g “00” flour
200 g meat broth
50 g fresh sage
300 g basil
300 g cream
200 g Parmigiano Reggiano
400 g tomato sauce
150 g capocollo di Martina Franca
100 g egg white
150 g cornstarch
Procedure
Blanch the basil, blend it, and extract its chlorophyll. Heat the cream, add the white roux made from butter and flour, and mix everything into the cream. Finally, add the basil chlorophyll and keep warm.
For the sage emulsion, boil the veal broth and thicken it with a butter and flour roux. Heat and add finely chopped fresh sage. Microwave the grated Parmigiano Reggiano for about 2-3 minutes at maximum power, and do the same with the capocollo slices to obtain crispy chips. Whip the egg whites with 200 g of Parmigiano Reggiano and add the cornstarch.
Emulsify everything and spread it on the Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach. Place in the oven at 250°C. Arrange the tomato sauce and basil fondue on the plate as desired.
Place the Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and decorate with the crispy chips.
