    CREAMY MUSHROOM CANNELLONI RECIPE / VEGETARIAN

    Seems yesterday (well, technically the day before yesterday) that I was telling you how beautiful the weather was: blue sky, no clouds, blossomed cherry trees in the streets. Yeah, I'm dreaming of it right now, 'cause it's rainy and gloomy outside!
    Oh, well, never mind: perfect weather to share my creamy mushroom cannelloni recipe with you! (also perfect weather to water the dry soil, poor dry soil).

    Jump to the recipe
    My creamy mushroom cannelloni recipe will surprise you!
    Take them out of the oven and enjoy immediately (super hot!) or wait 5/10 minutes before serving!

    Creamy mushroom cannelloni recipe, the perfect comfort food!

    There are only a few things I can list as my favorite comfort foods: soups (miso soup, especially), gnocchi, chocolate (yup) and pasta. Every kind of pasta (cannelloni, lasagne, handmade pasta...).
    Whenever I say the words 'comfort food', I imagine my family gathered. Cause family is comfort, right?
    I'm lucky enough to say that I've got two families: mine and my boyfriend's. And both always feed me with amazing food!
    But cannelloni remind me of my mom, when years ago she used to make them stuffed with ricotta and spinach or ragù. Mamma mia, so good.
    When I say that this creamy mushroom cannelloni recipe is the perfect comfort food, just believe me. And let yourself be soothed by this feeling.

    Enjoy my creamy mushroom cannelloni recipe, it's easy!
    Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top!

    How to stuff cannelloni:

    Stuffing cannelloni is really simple and quick. You'll see in the recipe below that I used a piping bag to fill them easily, but if you don't have one use an ordinary plastic bag.
    So, to stuff them:

    • Fold down the sides of the piping bag (or plastic ziplock bag if you don't have one. Buy them though, they're cheap!) and then fill it with the mushroom filling;
    • Snip the edge of the piping bag about 1 inch from the bottom;
    • Take the cannelloni shells and squeeze the filling into each of them;
    • All done! Easy uh?

    Serve with sun-dried tomatoes on top! Isn't this the best of comfort food?

    These casserole dishes by Staub are very similar to the one I used to make my cannelloni (the smallest one in the photo)
    My casserole is about 7 inches on the bottom (so the shorter side).
