She's so "authentic italian" that she calls lasagna what every italian calls
cannelloni... Anyway the recipe is good, ingredients sound well and she also
calls for boiling the noodles before using them, a practice which I strongly
agree with.

Probably if you start with the right amount it will spread along while you
roll the noodle up, thus getting to cover its entire surface.
