Cannelloni with goat cheese is a refined Italian dish that embodies the soul of Mediterranean cuisine. Delicate pasta tubes filled with a fragrant mixture of goat cheese, onion, and parsley create a harmony of flavors, complemented by a rich tomato-garlic sauce. Baked under a layer of parmesan, they acquire an appetizing golden crust. The origins of this dish trace back to traditional Italian recipes where pasta served as the foundation for hearty family dinners. Goat cheese adds a subtle creamy note to the cannelloni, while garlic and parsley provide zest and freshness. Perfectly paired with a glass of white wine or a light salad.
