Cannelloni Stuffed with Ricotta Cheese

I have been making this dish since I was a young girl. It was actually one of the first meals I ever made for my parents and siblings. Now I’m making it for my own family, and it still gets devoured — Every.Single.Time! I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do! 

Ingredients
