I am not rating this recipe, but instead pointing out that the oven temperature appears to be off, and the butter is missing from the ingredient list. I have sent a message to the posting chef, but have not received any response. A Google search located the original recipe at http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/538559. I hope that this helps anyone who is interested.

I live in Hertford in England with my husband, son and dog. I love cooking, and love reading recipie books planning meals for my friends. However, I spend so long reading the books, I tend to be put off trying the recipies myself. I find recipezaar a brilliant resource, and try a new recipie every weekend. My first being spinach and ricotta canelloni which is absolutely delicious.
