Cannelloni

Cannelloni are Italian pasta tubes designed to be filled and baked. They belong to the category of traditional stuffed pasta and are particularly popular in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. The most common fillings include ricotta and spinach, minced meat with tomato sauce, or various vegetable combinations. Once filled, they are covered with béchamel or tomato sauce, sprinkled with grated cheese, and baked in the oven until golden. The result is a hearty, aromatic dish suitable both for everyday meals and special occasions. They are widely available in both dried and fresh forms.
