Cannelloni
Rustichella d'Abruzzo
in Abruzzo, Italy
Ingredients: durum wheat semolina, water
Cannelloni, meaning "large reeds" in Italian, are usually large sheets of pasta rolled around stuffing and then baked. After World War II, the shape became very famous in the US as Manicotti. Each box contains 20 Cannelloni.
We recommend filling with fresh ricotta, sautéed vegetables, pecorino, and a drizzle of Intosso Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Or try with Rustichella d'Abruzzo Tomato Sauce and Abruzzese-style sausage.
Do not par boil. Simply stuff the pasta with your desired stuffing, cover with Béchamel sauce or tomato sauce, and bake for 40 minutes at 400° F.
