To prepare, remove the outer packaging. If the dish has a film, peel back a corner or pierce it. Heat in a microwave according to the package instructions, usually for a few minutes until thoroughly heated through. Alternatively, it can often be heated in a conventional oven for a slightly crispier finish, though this may take longer. Ensure the cannelloni is piping hot before serving. It is best served immediately after heating.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade cannelloni, this ready-made version offers significant time savings. The texture of the pasta and filling may differ slightly from fresh preparations, and the sauce is pre-made. It is designed for reheating, unlike fresh pasta that requires boiling.
Who it is for
