Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

22 Precooked dried cannelloni 3/4 c Grated Swiss cheese
-shells (see note) FILLING:
2 Chopped tomatoes 1 1/2 c Diced cooked chicken
2 tb Freshly grated Parmesan 1 pk Frozen spinach, thawed and
-cheese -drained
SAUCE: 3/4 c Ricotta cheese
3 tb Butter 1/3 c Toasted slivered almonds
1 Chopped onion 1/4 c Freshly grated Parmesan
3 tb Flour -cheese
1 1/2 c Chicken stock 1 Egg
1 c Light cream 1/4 ts Grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Saute onion until tender. Stir in
flour and cook for 1 minute. Add stock, cream, salt and pepper. Cook
until boiling and thickened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir
in the Swiss cheese. Cover with waxed paper and set aside.

Filling: Combine chicken, spinach, Ricotta, almonds, Parmesan, egg and
nutmeg. Blend all ingredients together.

Assembly: Place filling in the pre-cooked shells. Pour a thin layer of
sauce over the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed
cannelloni in a single layer over the sauce. Sprinkle with the
chopped tomatoes, and pour the sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle
with Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminium foil. Bake at 350 degrees
F for 60-70 minutes or until pasta is soft and the top bubbles.

Note: The kind of pasta used in this dish is dried, but is usually
called "oven ready". I believe it is coated in egg whites to enable
it to cook right in the oven when well-covered in sauce. If you make
the dish ahead and refrigerate, the cooking time will be cut down
because the pasta will soften in the refrigeration.
