Cannoli Siciliani

Crispy fried pastry tubes filled with sweet sheep's milk ricotta, chocolate chips, and candied orange peel.

Ingredients

• 500g Italian sausage
• 1 cup fresh lasagna sheets
• a handful of minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 baby spinach, chopped
• a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• a generous spoonful of Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup vegetable stock
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• a generous handful of yellow onions
• a generous spoonful of balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with unsalted butter.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the spaghetti and cracked black pepper until evenly combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, blend the extra-virgin olive oil with the whole milk until smooth and well incorporated.

4. 4

   Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

5. 5

   Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 20 mins.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.
