Tips
To check if the noodles are cooked, carefully poke them with the tip of a knife to check the tenderness.
Be sure and get cherry tomatoes and bocconcini balls that are going to fit into your cannelloni noodles. If it’s difficult to find the right size of ingredients, try manicotti noodles instead—they’re a little bigger!
