  This is like a Cannelloni recipe with unsweetened pancakes instead of Cannelloni Pasta Tubes. Not sure I'd want to give this a try, since I could only imagine the pancakes going really soggy. I'd love to hear some comments from others that may have tried this before I attempt it.

  Worked out nicely as a filling dinner. Definitely avoid sugary pancakes as the recipe suggests. I tried it with standard Tesco pancakes and, combined with the lemon etc, they made for an odd taste. Very good otherwise - the filling mixture is tasty.

  I didnt want to buy supermarket pancakes and had a bit of time, so I made my own. I used: 100g plain flour 2 eggs 250ml milk 1tbspn veg oil 1 tspn salt 1/4 tspn smoked paprika/chili powder (anything to give it a bit of extra flavour) some cracked black pepper torn basil leaves a small handful parmesan I just whisked it all up and they worked really well...and tasted gorgeous! They really added something to the dish!

  This is a wonderful recipe. I did not have very high hopes, but I gave it a bash and both myself and the hubby love it! I am definitely going to play around with it. When I have more time I will consider making my own pancakes, but stire bought was more than adequate. I left out the lemon rind, I just did not see it working with the rest of the flavours. Next time I am going to make a bolognese sauce, instead of the spinach stuffing. Will keep you posted on which stuffing works the best... yummy!

  I was so dissapointed with this recipe as the picture looks delicious. I used Sainsburys unsweetened pancakes and follow the recipe but it was awful. The Pancakes went really soggy and no-one could eat it :-( The sauce would work really well with Cannelloni tubes, will try that another time.

  We loved this. I did tinker with the recipe quite a bit. I made my own pancakes with soya milk, made the tomato sauce with tinned tomatoes reduced with onion, garlic and basil so it wouldn't make the dish soggy and used grated gruyere instead of parmesan, double the quantity of cheese recommended. I was lucky, it worked very well.

  This worked really well for us. We used a reduced slow cooked sauce so the pancakes didn't go soggy. My only wonder is if it's freezable?

  I'm really sorry about this comment but, having cooked many really successful meals following recipes from Good Food, this one has been my first complete disaster. I followed the recipe as closely as possible but ended up with an unpleasant mushy mess. Despite using savoury pancakes it had a rather odd sweet twang to it. Not my finest offering to the family!

  After reading Harvey's comment I brought cannelloni instead of pancakes and it worked beautifully. Healthy (as I made my own pasta sauce with celery, carrots, capsicum and courgettes), quick and really delicious!!!

  We really enjoyed this recipe, the pancakes went a bit soggy but i think that the secret is in the tomato sauce i used a m&s putanesca sauce (which isn't very liquid with lots of chunky bits) also i reckon that if don't put 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of baking dish avoids sogginess

  I found this to be far too lemony to taste, will make this again but will omit the lemon! I think it would be quite tasty without lemon.

  We really enjoy these. Worth taking the time to make your own pancakes though, shop bought just don't seeem to work. Also found that The dish needs only enough tomato sauce underneath the pancakes to prevent them sticking.
