I’ve been making this most of my adult life. The recipe came out of the Italian Time Life Foods of the World series. It is supposedly an authentic northern recipe and uses homemade pasta. I use the dry cannelloni noodles. Buy more than you need and boil them gently. Some of them will break when you are filling them, so you will need extras. You can omit the chicken livers, but they do add a nice touch and no one will know they are there. This has been one of my tried and true dinner party hits. Like other pasta recipes it can be made in advance and put in the oven a couple hours before. This is rich, so most won’t have more than two cannelloni, when served with salad and rolls as part of a dinner party.
