Cheese Cannelloni




I have to say that I am not a big pasta eater, but my family really enjoys it, so I do make several different pasta dishes for them to enjoy. This cheese cannelloni is one I do enjoy as well. I love to take some to work for lunch, because I really enjoy eating the leftovers cold. That's right......it's awesome cold, which comes in really handy, when there's a long line up at the microwave..........LOL
