Cannelloni is a homemade pasta, generally prepared with plain flour and a rich garnish of cheese. Here is a healthy 207-calorie version of this tasty main course, prepared with whole wheat flour and low-calorie mozzarella cheese. The cannelloni sheets, stuffed with spinach and low-fat paneer, radiates a distinctive feel, further accentuated by the lovely topping of freshly prepared tomato sauce. Though tedious to prepare, this is a brilliant one dish meal to try your hand at occasionally.
