METHOD:
Lightly oil or spray a 9 x 13 inch (22.5 x 33 cm) baking dish with canola oil. Combine the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese and Romano cheese in a bowl. Add the nutmeg. Stir well. Add the egg. Stir well.
Loosely stuff the cannelloni shells with the cheese filling. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is tender.
Finely chop the tomatoes and save the juice. Add the tomatoes and their juice to the saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes. Stir often.
Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C). Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of the baking dish. Place the stuffed cannelloni noodles side by side in the dish on top of the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the noodles.
Bake for 1 hour or until the noodles are tender.
