Baked minced meat cannelloni from the hot air fryer
Known everywhere, loved everywhere. Penne, spaghetti, maccheroni, fusilli, farfalle. With sauce, pesto, meat, as a salad, as a casserole. Pasta over pasta and so many variations. I am also a big fan of simple and delicious pasta dishes. This recipe is all about extra-large pasta - cannelloni. Filled with roasted vegetables and minced meat, covered in sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese. A large portion goes into the oven, but a small casserole dish is great in the air fryer. Expand your range of pasta dishes with this delicious casserole from the air fryer and don't just reach for the small pasta dishes soon.
