  I left out the nutmeg as my husband is allergic to it, but meal was really tasty and we both enjoyed it. Not too much effort either, will definatly do again.

  A pity about the nutmeg because the only way to service spinach lasagne etc is with nutmeg. To make the tomato sauce a little less tart, try adding a spoon or two of creme fraiche.

  I made it with Lasagne as I didn't have any cannelloni, and also used less cheese (for calorie reasons), and no garlic (keeps me awake).. and a few other changes according to what was to hand, but we thought it was a delicious spring dish, and much less work than you might think. Tomato sauce a little tart for my taste - will try creme fraiche suggestion next time....

  I made this for my husband and I the other day, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Really tasty dish, tomato sauce was fine for us, although I would have liked a little more of it! I couldn't get canneloni so used fresh lasange sheets and rolled them up instead. I think it would suit having toasted pine nuts on top (although we didn't have any to hand) Definitly a recipe I shall be doing again.

  Is anyone able to suggest an alternative for the goat's cheese please? The recipe sounds delicious but I don't like the taste of goat's cheese.

  My husband and I loved this recipe and I will make it again. However do not use the bag with a corner cut off unless it is a very robust bag. Mine split and the mess created was very green! Had to send my husband out to buy an icing bag before I could continue

  This was fabulous. I did make a few adjustments though. Added two pinches of sugar to tomato sauce and used Boursin garlic cheese instead of goats cheese. I didn't have enough filling though to fill 200g of cannelloni tubes. Served with mixed salad and garlic bread. The tip with the tea towel to squeeze out the water worked a treat too.

  Great recipe. Added tuna to the cheese and spinach mix, which added a nice extra taste. I forgot to top each layer with the tomato sauce and only did so at the very end, but made sure there was enough so that the lasagne would cook.

  This dish was delish, just add a pinch of sugar to the tomato sauce. It was so lovely I wished I had made double to freeze! Enjoyed by the kids too

  This dish was really delicious! I also experienced problems with the food bag - it split and ended up having to try and push the filling in to the pasta with the end of a wooden spoon! Will definitely invest in a piping bag for next time. Was worth the effort and the mess though. I also added more than a pinch of sugar to the sauce as it was quite sharp tasting.

  I made this for supper with friends and we all loved it. I did cheat, I was short of time and used a well known brand of pasta bake instead of the tomato sauce. I also added sliced mushrooms. I will certainly cook it again.

  Did this for a mixed group - veggie and non-veggie - and we all enjoyed it very much. Filling the cannelloni tubes was a bit tiresome but well worth the effort especially as the filling I produced seemed a bit moist! The vinegar and sugar gave the tomato sauce a good flavour. I'll try adding chopped mushrooms next time for a bit of added flavour. Would definitely make again - even for a non-veggie gathering,

  lovely. we replaced parmesean cheese with ricotta (slight concerns about the fat content) but we still couldn't stop eating. 25 mins was perfect. just enough for 2 with enough for lunch tomorrow. will do this again now that i know its so easy.

  Really tasty, and easier than I expected from the 'moderately easy' tag (although that might be because I made it as a lasagne rather than stuffing cannelloni tubes - much less messy!). I left out the nutmeg as I didn't realise I didn't have any until I'd started cooking: I didn't notice anything missing but I'll have to try it again, with nutmeg, to double-check (that's my excuse, anyway!).

  I made this recently and found it to be really tasty much better than what you would buy. I found using a food bag with the corner cut off as a piping bag to fill the cannelloni tubes reasonably usefull. The trouble I found with this method it was slightly messy. As I ended up with an air gap in the middle of the cannelloni tube and had to poke the mixture down with my fingers. Perhaps I need to purchase a piping bag to achieve a better result for next time.

  Really good. I switch one of the cans of tomatoes for 5-6 fresh skinned tomatoes to make it taste a little...fresher. The tangy tomato sauce is pefectly complemented by all that lovely cheesiness. This makes for a delicious veggy meal when served with a nice salad.
