RECIPE TIPS
1. You can make the meat sauce with fresh tomatoes instead of tomato pulp. The meat will be a little healthier, but it will lose creaminess and color.
2. If you make the recipe with fresh tomatoes (about 3 medium ripe tomatoes), remove the skin from the tomatoes and cut into small pieces (cook the tomatoes with the olive oil, chopped onion and chopped garlic until they start to break down slightly).
3. We usually make this recipe with parmesan, cheddar or mozzarella cheese but you can try making it with another type of cheese. It all depends on your personal taste.
4. If the cannelloni starts to brown too much, reduce the oven temperature or cover with aluminum foil.
5. If you have leftovers, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms).
