Chicken and Hot Italian Sausage Cannelloni

I like to add red sauce on the bottom of the pan, then put the cannoli's on top. Then add Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.  


4 Tbls butter
1 medium white onion, diced
16 ounces ground chicken
8 ounces hot Italian sausage, ground
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces goat cheese
2 tsp dried basil

1 box no boil barilla noodles


In a frying pan, melt butter and add onions.  Cook until soft.
Add in ground chicken and Italian sausage. 
Cook until browned. DRAIN and cool.

Once the meat mixture has cooled, add the 3 cheeses and dried basil. 

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 
Put in one noodle and boil for 1 minute 30 seconds, remove from water and spread a layer of the meat/cheese layer on one noodle and roll up. Repeat until you have used up all the noodles and meat.  

You can freeze these the way they are now. Or add pasta sauce to the bottom of a pan and lay the cannelloni on top. Add mozzarella on top and bake until brown and bubbly. 


 These are the noodles to look for. I couldn't find the ones that are not oven ready. But you want these because of the size, they roll up to look like a cannelloni shell.
 This is the meat and cheese mixture.
 This is what it looks like after it has been rolled. 
This is how much meat/cheese mixture to put on.
