Instructions
- Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese needed to make the cannoli.
- Take a non-stick frying pan and heat it over medium heat. Add three tablespoons of grated Parmigiano cheese to the hot pan.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread and flatten the cheese into disks about 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter. It's not necessary to grease the pan with oil or butter. In fact, Parmigiano will release its fat as soon as it comes in contact with heat.
- Turn up the heat and cook until the edges begin to darken. This should take no more than ONE MINUTE.
- Using a silicone spatula, remove the waffle and place it on a plate.
- Immediately wrap the waffle around the cannoli mold.
- Finally, seal the joint well. Be careful not to burn and set the cannoli aside to cool. Repeat for all the other cannoli.
- VERY IMPORTANT: This should be done very quickly because the waffles should not be allowed to cool before you give them the cannoli shape. In fact, when they cool, they become crispy and break easily and it would not be possible to roll them. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU WORK VERY QUICKLY AND MAKE ONE CANNOLI AT A TIME.
- Place the ricotta cheese in a bowl and mix well to make it creamy.
- Then add a grind of black pepper and the grated zest of half an organic lemon. If you like, you can add a tablespoon of chopped herbs to taste. For example, basil, parsley, or chives work well.
- Prepare a pastry bag with a large hole tip and fill with the ricotta cream. Fill the savory parmesan cannoli with the ricotta cream, taking care not to break them as they are very delicate.
- Finish the dish by garnishing the two ends with pistachio granules. PLEASE NOTE: It's very important to let the cannoli cool completely before filling. The heat of the cannoli could make the ricotta too soft, which must be cold and firm.
