Cannelloni (Italian: [kannelˈloːni]; English: "large reeds") are a cylindrical type of egg-based stuffed pasta generally served baked with a filling and covered by a sauce in Italian cuisine. [1] Popular stuffings include spinach and ricotta or minced beef. The shells are then typically covered with tomato sauce.

Cannelloni are also a typical dish of the Catalan cuisine, where they are called canelons and traditionally consumed on Saint Stephen's Day. [2]

Early references to maccheroni ripieni (stuffed pasta) can be traced back to 1770, but the word cannelloni seems to have appeared at the turn of the 20th century. [1] Manicotti are the American version of cannelloni, though the term may often refer to the actual baked dish. [3] The original difference may be that cannelloni consists of pasta sheets wrapped around the filling, and manicotti is machine- extruded cylinders filled from one end. [3]
