For a richer flavor, try using a blend of Italian cheeses in the filling, such as Asiago or Fontina, in addition to Parmesan and ricotta. Fresh herbs will elevate the dish considerably. Consider using fresh oregano and basil, chopped finely, instead of dried. Add them at the end of the vegetable cooking process to preserve their flavor. To prevent the cannelloni from drying out during baking, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil for the first 15 minutes, then remove it for the remaining baking time to allow the top to brown.
