Cannelloni stuffed with minced meat and spinach.

"Cannelloni" translates from Italian as "big tubes" or "large reeds".

Cannellonis are cylindrical type of lasagna baked with a filling which include minced beef or spinach and ricotta or you can mix them all together!

The shells are then typically covered with Marinara sauce and cheese.

Some people add Béchamel sauce on top, which gives it a yummier taste.

I personally love this dish and I would like to show you how I make from A to Z.

Ingredients for the dough:( makes 14 cannellonis)

4 eggs

1 cup flour
