Vegetarian Cannelloni in Tomato Sauce

Written by on in Home Made Cooking

I wanted to make some lasagna, really! So I went to the local store and guess what? They had every single kind of noodle and pasta, except for of course, lasagna. So I look at the shelves and start brainstorming with my own self when I saw these Cannelloni I knew exactly what I’m going o make. It is only after I got home that I remembered I never actually made Cannelloni before. After I whipped up a vegetarian filling I started struggling with physically filling the pasta tubes, until I figured out that if I roll the filling into a thin tube I can easily stuff the Cannelloni. Finally, everything was ready, and really the more messy part is the stuffing because the sauce is so simple. The end result was yummy and comforting, just like pasta dishes should be. So I’m telling you all that you should not be afraid of hard work and mess embrace it and then…eat it.
