Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the chopped zucchini and carrot to the pan, and cook until they are tender.

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, and half of the parmesan cheese. Add the cooked vegetable mixture, salt, pepper, oregano, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Step 6
Fill each cannelloni tube with the vegetable and cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Step 7
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the filled cannelloni tubes over the sauce.
Step 8
Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
Step 9
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 11
Let the cannelloni rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
