Cannelloni tubes stuffed with a cheese filling (sometimes with spinach), arranged in a baking dish in tomato sauce, topped with grated cheese, and baked until the cheese turns golden.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

In a bowl, mix the tomatoes with the salt. Don't cook it: the sauce cooks on the pizza in the oven.
⚙ SimmeringStoveSmall saucepan
💡Spread cooled sauce on pizza: hot sauce softens the dough even before baking.
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
