  • 2 packs of tomatoes, pureed (500 ml each)
  • 2 tbsp capers

delicious light filling

Mix the passata with the crushed garlic cloves. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and oregano. Pour two-thirds of the tomato sauce into a baking dish. Dice the onions and finely chop the capers. Mix both with the tuna and cream cheese and season generously with salt and pepper. Fill the dry cannelloni with the tuna mixture. This works best with a piping bag with a large opening, once the mixture is finely blended. Place the filled cannelloni side by side in the baking dish, pour over the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C on the middle rack for about 40 minutes. Tip: A mixed salad with a light yogurt dressing goes very well with this dish. If you choose the cream cheese and grated cheese as a low-fat option, this is a light dish. You can replace some or all of the passata with chopped tomatoes.
