i have been making your Sweet Potato Cannelloni recipe since the day you first posted it a couple of years ago. i had the ingredients in the house and my football player boyo devoured the pan. We’ve since made it for family, friends, potluck dinners and for a mission we cook for. Everyone loves it and is wonderfully nourished too. i always tell people it is ‘Gail from ’til Debt’s dish’…i send them to your website so hopefully their understanding of how to handle money is nourished too!! thanx Gail. Could you post a good beans and rice recipe?

Wow! I make a dish similar w/ Birds Eye frozen winter squash, but never thought about a sweet potato. Awesome, thanks!

This looks really delicious – I am going to try this one this weekend! I’ve had some success making my own ravioli from scratch recently and I think I will try this as both stuffed cannelloni and as ravioli.

Linda: my guess is that it would work with ricotta, but since ricotta is wetter and looser than cream cheese, you’d need to keep an eye on consistency and possibly use a bit less – you don’t want your stuffing itself to be too wet. Plus, of course, cream cheese is a lot richer, making it, in my view, more delicious (though of course less healthy).

Personally, I wouldn’t use a meat sauce (and if I did, I might use ricotta in the stuffing), otherwise, it might just be a little too rich for my palate. A nice marinara sauce, perhaps with thyme and a little hot pepper instead of the traditional basil and oregano, would be a nice zippy contrast to the creaminess of the sweet potato and cheese stuffing (plus add a little more West Indian flavour to the fusion aspect of this dish). Thanks for the inspiration, Gail!

You can use Smart Pasta or Whole Wheat(WW takes longer) Lasagna Noodles. Also you can substitute Zucchini sliced length wise instead of Noodles. I also use skim milk cheese and add a variety of veggies and Tuna or Salmon.(I know not everyones cup of tea)

Tess: Funny I just bought Sweet Potatoes this morning to make Hot Chips. I did so because I was tempted to buy a couple of bags of baked Old Dutch chips.(On sale at Mac’s FYI 2 small bag for $2 and large bags for $1.50 not baked though for the big bags) Also Other good deals for there 50th Anniversary. $1 for giant slushes. I had a low sugar slush and Fibre1 for this morning. I know breakfast of Champions.

Even easier tip for making cannelloni, use lasagna noodles! Whenever I try & stuff those tubes, I inevitably rip a bunch & they look like cr*p. Instead, buy no-boil lasagna noodles, soak briefly in hot water until pliable, and roll up the cannelloni around it. Put them seam-side down into the baking dish that’s coated with sauce, and you’re good!

What do you consider a sweet potato? I know some people think yams are sweet pototoes and some think sweet potatoes are yams.

This sounds so good, makes me hungry and it’s only 10 o’clock.
I have never bought cannelloni but I love all pasta so I would totally try it. Actually just looking at the picture makes me wonder what else you can stuff in them. First thought is broccoli and mushroom for me. I am sure there is a recipe for that too.

I always get yam fries in restaurants and really they’re sweet potatos. It’s weird that people don’t know the difference.
