To prepare, remove the plastic film from the tray. Bake in a preheated oven according to package directions, usually until the cannelloni is heated through and the sauce is bubbling. Some preparations may suggest covering the dish with foil for part of the cooking time to prevent the top from drying out. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after baking before serving to ensure the cheese filling is set and the sauce has thickened slightly.

While homemade versions allow for customization of cheese blends and sauces, this product offers a consistent, pre-made flavor that is ready in minutes.
