An authentic pasta recipe: Italian cannelloni made vegan with seitan mince

Translated from Italian, cannelloni means ‘large pipes’. And that’s exactly what cannelloni is: wide, hollow tubes of Italian pasta. Cannelloni is therefore perfect for stuffing. Cannelloni originated in Italy, but like many other types of pasta, these days it is eaten virtually everywhere in the world. You can stuff it with the ingredients of your choice, but of course it is yummiest when you follow the most authentic Italian recipes. In our recipe for Italian cannelloni stuffed with seitan mince and chanterelles and topped with vegan cheese sauce, we use a traditional recipe as our base to give the dish the perfect flavour. But our recipe is also 100% modern; we’ve added vegan seitan and a vegan cheese sauce. By selecting your ingredients with care, you can enjoy a 100% vegetarian and vegan dish with a lovely creamy flavour.

Then he developed two serious hernias, as well as being very overweight. He realised that he could not continue this way and decided on a complete turnaround. He quit drinking and smoking and slowly changed his diet, until he finally went almost completely vegan.Vegan, a step further than vegetarian Stefano's recipes are all vegan.
