Canelons are a type of pasta dish that originated in Italy, specifically known as cannelloni. They are large tubes made from pasta, typically filled with a variety of ingredients such as meat, cheese, or vegetables. After being filled, the tubes are usually covered with a sauce, often a tomato or béchamel sauce, and then baked until hot and bubbly. This dish is popular in many countries, especially in Spain and Italy, where it is often served as a comforting meal. Canelons can be customized with different fillings and sauces, making them a versatile option for both everyday dinners and special occasions.
