Meanwhile, searching around, there is no straight answer for the difference between manicotti and cannelloni. Wikipedia says that canneloni are rolled noodles while manicotti are rolled crepes, yet there's not separate page for manicotti (it redirects to canneloni) imlying that they are the same thing.
Other sources online say manicotti are pre-rolled packaged tubes while cannelloni are fresh pasta sheets rolled into tube shapes.
Still others say they are identical except manicotti are rolled on a bias while cannelloni are rolled as straight cylinders.
In other words, call 'em whatever the hell you want.
