Cannelloni have truly ancient origins. From long gone times, pasta was prepared with water, flour and salt, cut in big rectangles, which were rolled and baked in the oven once filed with good stuffings.
From this recipe, Barilla was able to make an ideal shape in order to enhance the most flavoured sauces of the rich Italian gastronomic heritage. Then Barilla added its great experience selecting the best durum-wheats, having a matchless quality and a perfect al dente (this means that the best way to know when the pasta is cooked correctly, it must offer little resistance "to the bite") cooking consistency. At present, Cannelloni, a true masterpiece of La Collezione Barilla, are appreciated for their capability of creating first course dishes having an extraordinary flavour that gratifies creativeness.
