Cannelloni (pronounced [kannelˈloːni]; Italian for "large reeds") are a cylindrical type of 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 pasta is then 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.[2]

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 20th century.[1] Manicotti are the American version of cannelloni, though the term may often refer to the actual baked dish.[3] 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 end.[3]
