Ok I made chicken cannelloni and stuffed mine with spinach garlic red onion and sauteed chicken onion and garlic minced about 1 tbsp then after chicken was done ; seasoned with Italian seasoning : I added spinach and 1 lb. of mozzarella shredded cheese then filled cooked shells and made an Alfredo sauce then placed sauce in blender and added roasted red bell pepper a whole 1/u can make your own roasted red bell pepper by cutting in half remove seeds and light drizzle with olive oil and put under broil in your oven until it starts to get a 'lil burnt on skin sides then remove. Then add roasted red bell pepper to Alfredo sauce and blend together until sauce is orange with tiny pieces of red bell pepper and add on top of chicken stuffed cannelloni and bake in oven for about 15 minutes and serve its called chicken cannelloni with red bell pepper sauce and is the best recipe I have ever made and eaten. And I make my Alfredo sauce the 4 star way so yummy and with that roasted red bell pepper is so delicious I highly recommend trying it.
