Made this for dinner tonight, only ended up being 3 of us and I made double, so have frozen some individuals dishes.  It's one of the few times I get out the varoma when I make this dish.

Made this again tonight.  I forgot how good this is.  :) DW loves the sauce, she was trying to stuff the last of what I dished up for her in even though she was full.  ;D  I only had 8 cannelloni tubes so I have some left over sauce and filling. I think I am going to use these left overs to make some ravioli.

That sounds great Den :D I should give this another go and get it right, especially since I am trying to cook more vegetarian meals it would be good to have things like this in my repertoire :)

Have another go Amy. I follow the recipe, though I added extra veggies to the sauce, Steam the cannelloni then plate them up spoon the sauce over and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan then melt the cheese under the grill.

Also this has chicken in it so to make it vegetarian you will need to leave that out and probably increase the quantity of ricotta and spinach. I would also add an egg and Parmesan to the filling.

Oops, yes, I meant to say I would replace the chicken with tofu or chickpeas to make it vegetarian :-)) ;D

I did it in the oven last time, thats where I went wrong :( Will try the steaming next time, thanks Den :D

I usually make vegetarian cannelloni Amy. I always just use spinach, ricotta, Parmesan and an egg.

Made this tonight, using Judy's variations - sautéing onion, garlic at the start and adding fresh spinach 30s toward end.  Used 4 chicken thighs (approx 500g?)

I used fresh lasagne sheets and got 9 out of the mixture, with some mixture left.

I also sneakily added a zuchinni to the sauce leaving juice in tin tomatoes.

Steamed in varoma and topped with some grated Parmesan.

THIS IS DELICIOUS!!

I will make again.
