The story

About the dish

Cannelloni (manicotti) alla Fiorentina draws its character from marinara sauce, Parmigiano, mozzarella, and ricotta. Gratinating it adds a browned, savory surface over the softer filling beneath. Taste it for a clear, distinctive flavor of its own from marinara sauce, a savory, gently tangy cheese note from Parmigiano, and soft, fresh dairy richness from mozzarella.

The cured meat or cheese in the dish is more than seasoning: across Italy, these foods preserve local knowledge about animals, landscape, climate and time.
