Sausage-Stuffed Canneloni

1 ½ Cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1 Cup fontina cheese, shredded
¼ Cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg
¾ Cup Italian sausage, crumbled
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
¼ Cup caramelized onions
2 fresh lasagna sheets, 11" X 9", or
8 each manicotti tubes, cooked
2 Cups of your favorite pasta sauce
1 Cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta, fontina, ¼ cup parmesan, egg, crumbled Italian sausage, salt, pepper, and caramelized onions. Mix well.

Cut the fresh lasagna sheets in half lengthwise to create four long pieces of pasta. Divide the filling into four equal portions and place along one of the longer sides of the pasta. Stretch the filling evenly along the edge of the pasta; the filling should be approximately one inch wide. Roll the pasta sheets lengthwise. Cut each roll in half to create eight cannelloni.

For the cooked manicotti tubes: place the filling in a pastry bag and pipe the filling into the eight manicotti tubes. Tip: if you don't have a pastry bag, a gallon size freezer bag, sealed up, with one corner cut off works well, also.

Pour one cup of your favorite pasta sauce into a 12 X 9 inch baking dish. Place the cannelloni in the dish. Pour the other cup of sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and then the two tablespoons of parmesan over the cannelloni. Place in the oven and bake, uncovered, approximately thirty minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cannelloni are heated through. (tried and true)

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:1-5 (KJV)

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Corinthians 5:6-7 (KJV)

2 cups diced peeled potatoes
2½ cups diced cooked turkey
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Up to 1½ cups chicken or turkey stock, milk, or water


Preheat the broiler.

Cook the bacon in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over high heat, about 5 minutes. Add ¾ cup of the onions, stir, and cook until the onions start to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the celery, butter, 2 teaspoons of the Poultry Magic, and the remaining onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, beets, turkey, parsley, the remaining 2¼ teaspoons Poultry Magic, and the nutmeg. Cook until the mixture sticks hard to the bottom of the skillet-be careful not to let it burn!-about 7 to 10 minutes.

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup onions, finely diced
1/2 cup bell peppers, finely diced (preferably a mixture of yellow, green and red)
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, diced (optional)
3 3/4 cups (1 quart) heavy cream, reduced to 3 1/2 cups*
2 cups (1/2 pound) Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup leftover roasted or boiled chicken, shredded
3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 pound penne or other pasta, cooked in plenty of salted water according to package directions and drained
1/4 cup chipotle sour cream (recipe below) or regular sour cream
1/4 cup green onions, including green part, sliced thin for garnish


Chipotle Sour Cream:
1/4 tsp pureed chipotles en adobo*
1/4 cup sour cream
*To reduce cream: Place in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil cream about 10 minutes and skim top before adding to recipe. Watch carefully as cream may boil up suddenly.

In a large sauté pan over high heat, add butter (don't wait for it to melt or it will burn), onions and peppers and sauté until vegetables begin to soften and turn golden. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 4 minutes.

Add reduced heavy cream and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium-high and continue to simmer, about 5 minutes.

Add cheese and stir well until the cheese is completely melted. Add shredded chicken and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Continue to simmer another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toss in cooked, drained pasta and mix well. To serve, top with a dollop of chipotle or regular sour cream and garnish with finely sliced green onions.

Chipotle Sour Cream:

To puree the chipotles en adobo: pour content of the can, including the liquid, into the bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl using a rubber spatula to push the puree through. Reserve any unused puree for future use in the refrigerator - it will keep 1 to 2 weeks.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1/4 teaspoon of the pureed chipotles en adobo with 1/4 cup of sour cream. Set aside.

* Chipotles en adobo are smoked jalapeos that have been stewed in a vinegar and aromatic vegetable sauce. They are usually available canned in the ethnic food section of the supermarket.
