Cajun Cannelloni - This fabulous, completely homemade, cannelloni recipe, is actually 3 simple recipes in one! There is one for the filling, one for the sauce, and one for the topping. Overflowing with meat, this International pasta recipe is made with two different types of sausage, and a “splash” of fish and crab, topped in a crimson homemade tomato sauce , and finally topped with four different cheeses before being oven baked.
