Prepare the pasta by mixing 3 eggs, 1 yolk, double the weight of the eggs in flour, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil (AOVE).

Cook the filling by sautéing 1 kg of mixed meat (pork, beef, and chicken) with 3 sweet onions and 2-3 cloves of garlic until browned.

Deglaze the pan with 1 cup of brandy, cognac, or old wine, then add 4-5 tablespoons of homemade tomato and a splash of broth for moisture.

Incorporate 150 gr of foie or pâté and season with oregano.

Prepare the béchamel sauce by melting 40 gr of butter, adding 40-50 gr of flour, and whisking in 1 liter of milk until thickened. Season with salt, nutmeg, and pepper.

Assemble the canelones by filling the pasta with the meat mixture, covering with béchamel, and topping with cheese before baking.
