The story

About the dish

Cannelloni alla Bolognese draws its character from marinara sauce, Parmigiano, mortadella, and prosciutto. Gratinating it adds a browned, savory surface over the softer filling beneath. The profile moves from a clear, distinctive flavor of its own in marinara sauce, through a savory, gently tangy cheese note in Parmigiano, to salt-cured depth and rounded savor in mortadella.

It opens a window onto Italy’s Food Valley, where filled pasta, long-cooked sauces, cured meats and aged cheeses carry strong local identities. On the plate, marinara sauce translates that context into a clear, distinctive flavor of its own in the dish.
