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

Is it permissible to tithe? Not only is it permissible, I would strongly recommend and urge you to do so. In choosing to give 10% of our income to the Lord, we are honoring a God-given, Old Testament principle. In the absence of a prescribed percentage for giving in the New Testament, why not adopt the Old Testament pattern? This does not mean you are sinning if you don’t. To give only 8% or to give 12% is equally permissible. Not to give at all, or to give disproportionately to your income (which is the case with most Christians today), or to give grudgingly, is indeed sin. Let us be joyful and generous in our giving. After all, everything we own belongs to God anyway!

INSTRUCTIONS

           SAUCE:
           FILLING:
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.
