Low-Calorie Rice Paper Cannelloni Recipe with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Chef Rozi Ben Kalifa shares a lightened-up recipe for cannelloni using rice paper sheets instead of traditional pasta, paired with a creamy 10% fat cooking cream sauce enriched with mushrooms and roasted chestnuts. This version offers a simpler filling preparation and a delicate texture, making it suitable for a family lunch or dinner.

The recipe calls for sautéing chopped onion, garlic, sliced mushrooms, and roasted chestnuts with seasonings including salt, black pepper, nutmeg, mushroom powder, and garlic powder. After adding the cream and milk, the sauce is brought to a gentle boil and transferred to a baking dish. Rice paper sheets are softened in water, filled with a strip of cheese (such as Gvanit Hemed or mozzarella), rolled into cannelloni shapes, and placed in the sauce. The rolls are coated with sauce, sprinkled with grated mozzarella, and baked at 180 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts and browns.

This recipe provides a flavorful, comforting meal with fewer calories than classic cannelloni, without the complexity of traditional fillings. It was posted recently by Rozi Ben Kalifa on Instagram, inviting readers to enjoy a quick and tasty dish featuring mushrooms and cheese.
