Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the canned salmon thoroughly, reserving any liquid in the can.
  2. Add water to the reserved salmon liquid to make up 300ml total volume.
  3. In a bowl, mash the salmon with the chopped onion, breadcrumbs, mushrooms, and parsley until well combined.
  4. Spoon the salmon mixture into each cannelloni tube, filling them generously.
  5. Arrange the filled cannelloni tubes in a single layer in a microwave-proof baking dish.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and stir in the flour. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
  7. Gradually whisk the milk and reserved salmon liquid into the butter-flour mixture, adding 150ml at a time.
  8. Microwave the sauce on HIGH for 1 minute after each addition, whisking well to prevent lumps.
  9. Stir the pesto and 75g of the grated Parmesan cheese into the smooth white sauce.
  10. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the filled cannelloni tubes in the dish.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 25g of Parmesan cheese over the top and cover the dish with microwave-safe lid or cling film.
  12. Microwave on MEDIUM power for 25 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the filling is heated through.
  13. Let the dish stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
