Method

It takes steps in 1 h 5 min
1 - Cut the speck into small cubes and blend it until it becomes a sandy consistency. Combine it with the ricotta in a large bowl and add a little salt if needed, then set it aside
2 - Prepare the dough by mixing the flour with the egg until obtaining a firm ball, roll it out to a thickness not too thin and cut out rectangles about 10 centimeters long
Tip: You can also use pre-cooked cannelloni, they are convenient especially because, being dry, they are very easy to fill
3 - Boil the previously made pasta sheets in salted water for one minute, then let them dry slightly on a clean kitchen towel
Tip: Pour a drizzle of oil into the boiling water, it will help prevent the pasta sheets from sticking
4 - Put the ricotta with speck in a pastry bag and spread the filling on one side of each rectangle of pasta, roll them up and set them aside
5 - Spread some béchamel sauce on the bottom of a baking dish, place the created cannelloni on top and cover with more béchamel. Cut the confit tomatoes into small pieces and cover the cannelloni
6 - Bake at 190 degrees for 35 minutes, then for the last two or three minutes, switch on the convection setting to create a light crust
7 - Plating, if desired, decorate with a fresh sprig of thyme

The ingredient with the highest cost is speck, but it is not used in large quantities. Each portion costs less than three euros

Health

I can only describe it as a heavy dish, with lots of carbohydrates and fats. Try to make do with just one serving
