1 tablespoon minced shallots

1 pound coarsely chopped assorted wild mushrooms
1 cup sliced green onions
1 cup chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup shredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese

directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well and set aside.

Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic, then saute for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates.

Add green onions, bell peppers, and vinegar. Saute for 2 minutes. Remove mushroom mixture from heat and stir in chopped parsley, oregano and thyme. Cool. Stir in Mozzarella cheese.

Spoon about 1/3 cup mushroom mixture into each cannelloni shell. Arrange stuffed shells in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine Alfredo sauce and basil, and pour over stuffed shells.

Cover shells with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Sprinkle tomato and Parmesan cheese over shells and garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
