That's cannelloni, usually. ( Whoa there Helena, that was even more Italian than usual. She keeps explaining as she wanders to the cupboard, grabbing some powdered sugar and a sieve, and then to the fridge.) They come from the same root word, though. "Canna" in Latin means "reed." Cannelloni is a big reed, cannoli is a regular reed, I guess. And then there's manicotti, which are sort of similar.
( "Sort of similar." She would say they are rather different, but Americans. No, instead she is setting a plate down on the counter and dusting whatever is one it with the sugar, before bringing over those things that turn out to be some delicious Sicilian pastry tubes filled with ricotta. ) Now, these are cannoli siciliani.
( And there is a pile of them. They aren't huge, but there are a lot. )
