Preheat oil to 325°F in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Divide the dough into 3 to 4 small pieces and roll in a pasta machine to the thinnest setting. Spray metal cannoli tubes with non-stick pan spray. Using pastry cutter, cut cannoli dough into rounds and gently wrap around the tubes, using a dab of water or egg whites to seal the edges together. Fry cannoli until deep brown and pastry has nearly stopped bubbling, about 3 minutes.
