Excellent recipe.....I only had a few minor changes. I could not find either cannelloni or manicotti at the stores so I used jumbo shells. They worked perfectly. I also used only about 4 ounces of the mushrooms and added some shredded Italian blend cheese to the filling and to the top. This was a great recipe Bert, thanks for sharing.

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
