  1. This was very very yummy. I confess I didn't use chicken, so made this as a vege meal. I just added a bit more ricotta (50 g) and a bit more pumpkin (100g) and a bit more spinach (50g). I also put a bit of freshly ground black pepper in the stuffing mix, and also a little bit of parmesan on the tomato sauce. The taste was still fantastic though. I have my own recipe for spinach & pumpkin cannelloni, but I cube the pumpkin (small cubes) & roast it first. Last night I just didn't have time though. The whole tray got eaten in one sitting, my DH admitted today that he could have eaten it all by himself (if it wasn't for me obviously!). Thanks for the great recipe!

I live in country Western Australia, 158 kms from the City of Perth. It is an agricultural area with Mediterranean type climatic conditions. Our family has always grown fresh produce so it is easy to use fruit and vegetables that are in season. My favourite cookbooks are anything written by Antonio Carluccio, Margaret Fulton, Stephanie Alexander,Jamie Oliver and just about any other?cookbook that is full of interesting and tempting recipes. I like to experiment with food and bring out the best of flavours in any dish that I prepare. Do I love homemade Italian food? How can you live without it? But then I love Indian,Asian, Middle Eastern,European cuisines and the good old Aussie food as well. Nothing beats a good barbecue with the family and friends.
