Cannelloni Gratin with Tomato Sauce
Cannelloni Gratin with Tomato Sauce is a delicious Italian dish featuring large pasta tubes filled with a savory mixture, typically ricotta cheese, spinach, and sometimes ground meat. The filled cannelloni are placed in a baking dish and covered with a rich, homemade tomato sauce made from tomatoes, garlic, onions, and Italian herbs. The dish is then topped with a generous amount of grated cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan, and baked until the pasta is tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly. This gratin is a comforting, flavorful meal perfect for family dinners or special occasions. It is often served with a side salad or garlic bread.
