While cannelloni takes a little more effort than just spooning sauce on cooked pasta, there’s something really nice about the whole process of making it - and it comes out of the oven looking rather impressive! I like the way the top edges of the pasta go crunchy and golden while the underside is soft and creamy. I’ve used crème fraîche instead of fussing around with cheese sauce – it’s readily available in the soft cheese section at the supermarket.
