    Tasty and comforting, with a pleasant lemon kick.

    I wasn't sure about this but it worked extremely well. It was more filling than I expected, too. Reheated well next day in the microwave and one portion is still in the freezer for testing. A good family supper now on the 'make again' list.

    does anyone know the nutritional info for this dish-is it very high in fat as it seems to need 200g of cheese in total!

    pj1515, I couldn't tell you the exact nutritional content, but ricotta is a fairly light cheese, and the recipe serves four, so it's not that much per person. If you want to make it healthier, make your own tomato sauce as the ready-made kind often contains a lot of sugar. That's what I did, and I also used a mature hard goats cheese as I didn't have Parmesan. Delicious!!!

    I used cannelloni tubes. I whizzed some canned tomatoes in the processor with some sundried tomatoes. I also used low fat ricotta. I will make this regularly as it disappeared so quickly.

    I liked it but felt it could do with some nutmeg in the ricotta mixture. My husband absolutely hated it.

    According to CalorieCount.com, each serving contains 454 calories, and 13.7g of fat of which 6.0g are saturated. To reduce this, I would use less ricotta in the mix and boost the veggie content. I've also seen a recipe for cannelloni which were filled with a mix of tuna and spinach - maybe not conventional, but a really nice meal! Hope that helps
