Cannelloni<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a typical pasta shape in Italy, mostly from Emilia Romagna, a Northern Italian Region; and in Campania, a southern one. Nowadays, cannelloni is\u00a0one of the most famous “Italian pasta dishes” both in the whole of Italy and in the world in general, even if they only appeared for the first time in\u00a01918.<\/p>\n

Its origin is mysterious. It is believed that they derived from the home-made gnocchi. In fact, at that time, an alternative way of cooking gnocchi involved\u00a0the dough to be made out, filled with several ingredients, such as meat, cheese, and vegetables, and finally rolled in a cylinder-shape. Obviously, the result was a very heavy meal.<\/p>\n

Other ancestors of Cannelloni<\/a> were the paccheri, believed to be from the 19th century. This is stuffed\u00a0with a thick and rich truffle filling\u00a0and then cooked with bolognese sauce. Lastly, in some Italian areas, it is filled and rolled cr\u00e8pes that were cooked in a pan or in the oven, achieving a similar result as cannelloni.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the real Cannelloni<\/a>\u00a0is something completely different. It is made just with durum wheat, water, and salt, and it has a typical cylinder shape, which shows precise dimensions. The perfect cannelloni should be 10-12cm long, 8-9cm large and 0,9-1mm thick. The hole should have a diameter of 2cm. The name comes from the shape, the Italian word “Canna” meaning “Pipe”.<\/p>\n

To obtain the typical version, the dough sheets should be hand-made. In the past, the women used to do this work, where the so-called “Sfogline”, coming from\u00a0the word “Sfoglia” meant “Pasta sheet”.<\/p>\n

Cannelloni is prepared in a\u00a0large tin, arranged next to each other.<\/p>\n
