cannelloni

Baked Italian cylinders

Cannelloni are large tubes of pasta filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables, then baked in sauce.

The dish is Italian, related to manicotti in American cooking.

The tubes may be made from fresh pasta sheets rolled around the filling or from dried cylindrical pasta: We're having spinach and ricotta cannelloni for dinner.
