"Saw this on Good Chef Bad Chef. Hoping to make it soon, they used Wagyu beef mince (ground beef) but I would use very lean heart smart beef mince. This can be made ahead, covered and kept in the fridge and bring up to room temperature before putting in the oven. The filling for the cannelloni would be good over any pasta or even on toast for breakfast."
