FAQs
Q: Can I make cannelloni without using ricotta cheese?
A: Yes, you can substitute ricotta cheese in any of the recipes with cottage cheese, mashed tofu, or a vegan ricotta made from cashews or tofu.
Q: How do I prevent my cannelloni tubes from breaking while stuffing them?
A: To prevent cannelloni tubes from breaking while stuffing them, cook the pasta slightly less than al dente (the recommended cooking time) and cool it down immediately under cold water to stop the cooking. Then place each tube on a damp towel to keep it moist until ready to fill later.
Q: Can I freeze leftover cannelloni dishes?
A: Yes! You can prepare these vegetarian cannellonis in advance and store them in the freezer for later use. After assembling your dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing up to 3 months. When ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap but leave the foil cover intact and bake at 375°F for about one hour (or until heated through). Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking so that cheeses on top melt together nicely!
