WEIGHT WATCHERS CRAB, RICOTTA & BASIL CANNELLONI



Weight Watchers Crab, Ricotta & Basil Cannelloni image

I love this recipe. Only 5 WW points. It is low in fat and tastes great. Chicken can be used instead of crab but will be slightly bland and will need to be minced. If you wish to do this add in some sage or garlic.
