Recipe: Romano's Macaroni Grill Sausage Stuffed Cannelloni

ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL SAUSAGE STUFFED CANNELLONI

1 (12 count) pkg Cannelloni or Manicotti pasta tubes
FOR THE FILLING:
3/4 lb. Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup chopped onions
1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan, grated
1 egg
2 tbsp. Italian bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
FOR TOPPING:
1 (21-26 oz) jar tomato sauce with meat
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the ingredients for the filling together and mix well. Fill the cannelloni with the sausage mixture and place in a baking dish sprayed with food release spray. Top the filled cannelloni with the meat sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheeses.

Bake until bubbly and the top is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
