Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped (or substitute basil, sage, or tarragon)
  • grated Parmesan cheese to taste, plus extra for serving
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 10-15 fresh wonton wrappers
  • olive oil for brushing
  • tomato sauce for serving
  • parsley leaves for serving
  • shaved Parmesan for serving

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Silpat or parchment paper
  • Small Bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, chopped parsley, a generous pinch of kosher salt, several turns of freshly ground black pepper, and grated Parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the ricotta mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper. Roll the wrapper into a tight tube and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  4. Lightly brush each roll with olive oil to help them crisp, then bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers puff.
  5. To serve, spoon tomato sauce onto plates, arrange the mini cannelloni on top, and finish with parsley leaves, shaved Parmesan, and more freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

  • Use fresh wonton wrappers for best texture.
  • Adjust Parmesan amount to taste.
  • Brush lightly with oil to ensure crisp edges.
  • Make rolls uniform in size for even baking.
