Canneloni.

(It ain't spelt like that.)

Make meat nd cheese sauces as for lasagne.

Cook the pasta by boiling it in water (or use flexibly fresh pasta)

Roll each pasta sheet into a tube, and fill with meat sauce and position in a sufficiently big dish till no meat sauce is left.

Pour on the cheese sauce.

Optionally decorate with grated cheese, and bake in oven as for lasagne.

Eat. (Tastes just like lasagne, but much more fiddly to make, and therefore not worth the effort

)

Important point for this and lasagne: the cheese sauce should completely cover the pasta, leaving none exposed to the oven's hot air.

Here are two traditional Navajo recipes that I stole off the web, as it was easier than inputting them (can you say lazy, boys and girls?). LOL They are pretty much how I have done it in the past.

Version #1

* 2 cups Flour
* 1 tsp. Salt
* 3 tsp. Baking Powder
* 1 cup Water

Version #2

* 3 cups Flour
* 1 tsp. Salt
* 1 tbs. Baking Powder
* 1 1/2 cup water
* 1 tbs. Shortening (cut in)

Using the ingredients from either version above, mix ingredients and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Break off a ball of dough about golf ball size and pat out no thicker than 1/4 inch. I usually cut a whole in the middle, but not always.

Fry in deep hot oil to a light golden brown, turn once to brown both sides. The oil is hot enough if a small test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately and rises to the top.

An alternate way that is quite simple (I think this is what we did when the Hairballs and Panacea were here for H and Dave's wedding) is to use any bread dough recipe that you like and after the second rising, break off a piece of the dough, pat it out, and fry. The bread machine makes this really labor unintensive.

Great stuff, sig! Pook chops on sale this week and I'm gonna try it.

t, THANKS for posting the fry bread too. Is that just reg'lar old white flour or corn flour or...?

Hairy, when you say siggy's recipe can be made with chicken, do you replace chicken or turkey stock for the consumme?

DA, must revisit those lovely cheesy italiano recipes!

White, but you can also use wheat if you want a healthier fry bread.

*busts out laughing* Healthy fry bread! *rof*

I will ask Marn when she gets home from the store. I was mostly talking about using Chicken instead of pork chops mostly. I think the rest is ok either way, but she would know more on that Peart-icular dish.

Crap.................... I forgot to ask her about that recipe Kares.

Busy with packing and alla that.

I will try to be better.

Chef Ellwood has failed.

Nah, It's no biggie at all. No RUSH.

It's just that when you said you could substitute chicken for pork chops in siggy's recipy, well, I thought, "Hmm..beef consumme with CHICKEN??? Maybe so but I'd better check with Hairball. Maybe one would substitute chicken stock for beef consumme."

And GOOD luck with that packing!!! I wish I could cook for you guys while you move so you wouldn't have to worry about it.

can you cook pork steaks from frozen...?

Kares4Rush · Post by **Kares4Rush** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 2:54 pm

I run them under a little warm water and they defrost in minutes.
