This dish was absolutely delicious! I cooked the cannelloni before stuffing them and had a little problem keeping them from falling apart. I should have followed the recipe as posted....my bad. I think next time I will try using the jumbo shells and stuff them. I made with recipe#92096 for the "spaghetti sauce". It was perfect for this recipe. Thanks for posting.

This was incredibly easy to make and it tasted delicious.I used homemade sauce,which was a little on the thick side,so next time I will make sure that its a bit looser,so it covers a bit better,and doesn't dry out around the edges.I topped mine with mozzarella,and the whole thing was great.Thanks Tigra,I'll be doing this again!

This was awesome! I did use the mozzarella for toppings and the food baked in oven for 75 minutes (bcouse of our crappy oven). Very easy to make and ohh so good! I served this with green salad and a cup of grated parmesan on the side so everyone could add more to their liking. Thanks for posting this i will definetly make this again and again!
