Cannelloni (pronounced [kannel'lo:ni]; Italian for "large reeds") are a cylindrical type of pasta generally served baked with a filling and covered by a sauce in Italian cuisine. Popular stuffings include spinach and ricotta or minced beef. The pasta is then typically typically covered with tomato sauce and Béchamel to cover the top.
Cannelloni are also a typical dish of the Catalan cuisine, where they are called canelons and traditionally consumed on Boxing day.
Early references to macheroni ripieni (stuffed pasta) can be traced back to 1770; but the word cannelloni seems to have appeared at the turn of the XXth century. Manicotti are the American version of cannelloni, though the term may often refer to the actual baked dish. The difference may originate in the fact that cannelloni initially consisted of pasta sheets wrapped around the filling, as opposite to machine-extruded cylinders that needed filling from one of the extremities.
