The story

About the dish

Cannelloni alla Toscana is anchored by marinara sauce, Parmigiano, prosciutto, and béchamel. 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 prosciutto.

Read through its regional name, it belongs to cooking that prizes excellent raw materials—olive oil, unsalted bread, beans, vegetables, meat and wine—used with striking clarity. Against that background, marinara sauce becomes especially expressive in the dish through a clear, distinctive flavor of its own.
