I used all ricotta instead of feta/farmers cheese and it was great! Also added 2 oz. parmesan along with the parsley.

Great easy filling and its nice to see one using fresh produce. Makes quite a bit too. I've made enough for cannelloni for 4 and I could probably stuff enough for the freezer for a few 1-2 person meals.

Really teriffic filling! I used on Canneloni and the quantity was perfect for 12 shells. The only change I made was to use cottage cheese rather than feta.
