Then add the peas, a few mint leaves, turn, leave to brown over medium heat for a couple of minutes.

Finally add 2 ladles of boiling water so that they cover the peas and let them boil.

At that point add the pasta you have chosen. Leave to cook with a lid for about 15 minutes, but the time varies depending on the pasta you have chosen.

If it dries out, add 1 -2 tablespoons of boiling water. At the end of cooking, add 1 drizzle of oil towards the end of cooking, salt and pepper.

It must be creamy and enveloping, not dry!

Pasta with cream, peas and ham

If you like at this point you can add 200 ml of cooking cream, leave and leave to stir for 2 minutes then turn off the heat and add pecorino or parmesan.

Cannelloni with cooked ham and bechamel they represent a simple but extraordinary and delicious recipe. Contrary to what one might think, it is an appetizer, or at most a second course, and not a first course. The peculiarity of this recipe is theabsence of pasta, replaced instead by slices of ham. These slices are filled with a delicious combination of potatoes and provola, and then baked au gratin with a delicious bechamel sauce. In short, an authentic culinary pleasure.

Ham and bechamel cannelloni

Ingredients

150g of cooked ham
500 g of potatoes
200 g of fior di latte
250 ml of bechamel
30 g of grated parmesan
salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil to taste

Preparation

Start by washing them thoroughly potatoes. Next, place them in a pan with plenty of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for about 25-30 minutes or until they become soft. Once cooked, drain them, peel them and mash them with a potato masher.

Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper and oil, mix well and leave to cool. In the meantime, cut the milk cream diced. Take one slice of ham at a time, distribute a few potatoes along one of the short sides, place some cubes of cheese in the center and roll the slice of ham over the filling.

Continue in the same way to create the other cannelloni. Lightly grease the bottom of a baking dish suitable for baking with a little béchamel sauce. Place the prepared cannelloni on top and cover them with the rest of the béchamel and the grated parmesan. Cook in a preheated fan oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes or until the desired golden brownness is obtained. Once ready, the cannelloni with cooked ham are ready to be served. Enjoy your meal!

Potato meatloaf, ham and cheese recipe – Gordon Ramsay’s version

Meatloaf is always a good idea! To me just the word “Meatloaf“It reminds me of home, of Sunday lunch but above all of a dinner at grandma’s house. I had already written it when we published the meatloaf recipe, for me my grandmother is the undisputed Queen of this dish. Today we take inspiration from that recipe to prepare something a little different and extraordinarily good: the potato meatloaf!

In a word: delicious! Stuffed potato meatloaf is the thing I would eat at any time. Hot, cold, for lunch, for dinner and… as far as I’m concerned… even for breakfast! It tastes like that delicate And tasty at the same time that one slice leads to another. And then I bet that children love it too, because cooked ham and cheese together are a great classic that always wins everyone over! Yes, because inside my potato meatloaf there are precisely these two ingredients. Clearly everyone can customize the recipe to their liking! Other combinations that, for example, would look great on us are:

Speck and fontina
Mortadella and fior di latte
Spinach and ricotta: perfect for a vegetarian version
Gorgonzola and sautéed sausage

But I could continue until tomorrow! Yes, because there are a thousand ingredients that go together with potatoes!

How to make potato meatloaf

But let’s get to the potato meatloaf recipe, here are some recommendations to get it perfect:

Potatoes: better if they are old because they will have less water and the mixture will be easier to work with. However, if you purchase them specifically to prepare this recipe, choose those that say “for gnocchi” on the package.
Cooking: it is important to respect the step in which I suggest cooking the potato meatloaf first covered with baking paper and then uncovered.
Rest time: once cooked, let the meatloaf cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting it, so that it thickens a little and becomes easier to plate!

Everything is ready? Let’s begin! But first, here are some recipes to save for next time.
