The story behind

This recipe is one of my go-to's when I really want to treat someone special. I remember the first time I made them; I was so worried the pasta would break, but seeing them come out of the oven all bubbly and golden made it all worth it. They are perfect for a lazy Sunday lunch when you have time to just enjoy the process. I love serving them with a fresh side salad and, if possible, a glass of red wine to make it a real feast. It's the kind of meal that makes everyone want seconds.

    Cover the cannelloni with the tomato sauce and then layer the white sauce on top to keep them juicy.

    Generously sprinkle the parmesan cheese all over the top.
  6. 6
    Bake until the cheese is bubbling and has a beautiful golden color. Serve hot and enjoy the conversation!
