Canollis, how come they are not as popular as they should be?!
Doesnt that sound so yummy, oh boy I want some and wonder why they are not in the italian eaters around this ho-boken-town!
Answers: I think I spelled it correct, but those are those italian big tubular noodles with that white cheese stuffing and marinara sauce.

Actually, those are called manicotti.
Cannoli is a dessert (also tube-shaped) which is a tube of pastry filled with ricotta cheese
and Cannelloni is like manicotti except with meat.
if you are really desperate for manicotti, stouffers makes a tv dinner version...
I think it really depends on where you live. In New York City you can get them readily.
Unless they are done relatively fresh and filled just prior to serving they tend to become soggy, rubbery and basically just nasty. Canolli's are delicate and hard to make at home. As most Americans do not bake or make desserts fresh anymore they are just not that good when left to sit in the bakers fridge for an extended period of time. I have an Italian deli that will send you home with the fresh shells, and a piping bag of the stuffing to make doing it at home much easier.
That would be very nice for dinner tonight, my dear, and if you have any trouble, I will take care of it, whatever is the right name is.

It's a Conspiracy! Folks have been told that type food clogs the arteries and causes folks to become obese.
I worked in an American/Italian Style restaurant (Carmen's) from 1977-1984. We served both.. Nope, I never made them, we had them trucked in already made and frozen.. All I had to do was nuke 'em and cover the manicottis with sauce and cheeses and pop it under the broiler until the cheese melted and was golden brown.
We also served the cousin of manicotti-- cannelloni (Tube pasta stuffed with beef)
The canolli was nuked until warm and covered with powered sugar.
I did not care for either one.
I would use the hollow tubes of pasta, what ever they are called.
I would make up my seafood marinara and cheese filling dip the filling and push the filling in from front and back, place them in a baking dish and then pour the rest over the top and bake
