  1. Prepare a simple tomato sauce by simmering olive oil, onion, basil, oregano and jovial tomatoes in a medium saucepan with salt to taste for 20 minutes.

  5. Spread 2 tbsp. of the ricotta filling over three quarters of the lasagna noodle.
  6. Roll the noodle, then place in the baking dish with the end on the bottom. Continue with all of the noodles, making three rows of cannelloni.
  7. Ladle the rest of the tomato sauce over the cannelloni and top with grated mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375ºF for 35 minutes.
  9. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
