Filling
Make-ahead tip: the filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and kept covered in the fridge.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 Tbsp ghee over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the ground beef and sausage; cook until browned, 6–8 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 Tbsp flour over the meat and stir to incorporate.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in ⅓ jar of CARINARA. Once incorporated, remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and add the prosciutto.
Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt 1 Tbsp ghee.
- Whisk 1 Tbsp flour into the ghee to form a roux.
- Slowly pour in 2 cups milk, whisking continually.
- Add the mozzarella and stir until incorporated.
- Reduce heat to low.
Assemble & bake
- Crack 2 eggs into the bowl with the filling and fold in 4 oz parmesan. Make sure the meat mixture has cooled first, so the eggs don't begin to cook. If the mixture is too wet, add ⅓ cup oats.
- Grease a baking dish with ½ Tbsp ghee.
- Cover the bottom of the dish with ⅓ jar of CARINARA.
- Fill each raw (uncooked) cannelloni noodle with the filling mixture and line them in the dish.
- Remove the sauce from the stove and pour it over the noodles.
- Spread the remaining CARINARA to cover the noodles, then top with parmesan.
- Cover and bake 40–45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
