Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ib Italian Sausage links, or unpacked ground
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Pepper
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Cottage Cheese
  • 2 Cups Marinara Sauce
  • 10 Pre Soaked Lasagna Sheets
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • ½ Cup Shredded Parmesan cheese Shredded

Instructions
 

  • Bring a skillet to medium heat. Brown off the sausage meat. If in a casing, remove the casing. Add salt and pepper. 
  • Once nearly cooked, add 1 cup of marinara or tomato sauce and mix. Remove from heat and add the cottage cheese. Stir it in.
  • Coat the bottom of your baking pan with a light layer of marinara sauce.Lay the lasagna sheets flat and add 2 tablespoons of meat.
  • Roll the noodle until closed. Place rolled cannelloni on the baking sheet. Whisk the egg and brush the cannelloni with the egg wash. If you prefer to use cannelloni shells that is fine but I find rolling after adding the filling easier and it saves time.
  • Add a baking sheet to the air fryer and cook at 350°f for 5 minutes, remove and add the remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese to the top of the cannelloni.
  • Return to air fryer and cook at 350°f for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.Now your cannelloni is ready to serve! Cover with parmesan and enjoy!

Notes

To Make It More Hearty: If you're looking for an even heartier meal, try adding some fresh spinach or other vegetables for a veggie-packed version of this classic.
