Cannelloni

Cannelloni (pronunciation: /ˌkænəˈloʊni/; etymology: Italian, literally 'large reeds') is a type of pasta dish that originates from Italy. The term 'cannelloni' is derived from 'canna', meaning 'reed' or 'tube', and the suffix '-oni', meaning 'large'.

Cannelloni is typically made by rolling sheets of pasta around a filling and baking it in an oven. The filling can vary, but it often includes ingredients such as ricotta, spinach, and ground meat. The dish is then typically covered with a bechamel sauce or a tomato sauce before being baked.
