A tube-shaped pasta or pastry case filled with meat, vegetables, or other ingredients, often served with sauce.
From French 'cannelon,' derived from 'canne' (cane or tube) plus the diminutive suffix '-lon.' The term evolved in French cuisine to describe the cylindrical shape of the filled pasta.
Cannelon is basically the fancy cousin of the burrito—different cultures figured out that wrapping filling in something cylindrical is delicious, whether it's a French pasta tube or a Mexican tortilla!
