We made cannelloni for Mother's Day! Enjoy some special moments with my mom as we make one of the traditional recipes I grew up eating on special occasions. I originally learned to make dishes from my Italian grandmother.

We made things like lasagna, pasta from scratch, Italian ring cookies, plus more. Cannelloni is a long process, and normally, you make everything from scratch. The tomato sauce, the minced meat stuffing, the béchamel sauce, and the pasta, which you would make the dough, then roll the sheets in the machine, and cut to size.

Okay, so here we made everything except the pasta sheets this time around to save some time; we purchased them from a local Italian store. We bought the refrigerated kinds, but you could also buy the dry ones. Either way, you have to cook them first. My mom came for a swift stopover visit, and we made the most of our time together.

Thanks for tuning in & remember:
