Lightly fry the garlic and olives. Add the vegetables and cook on a high heat, stirring continuously, for 4 or 5 minutes. Add the basil and remove from the heat.
Once the mixture has cooled, fill the pasta sheets with the vegetables and semi-cured cheese (cut into rectangular pieces the same size as the cannelloni). Put on one side.
To make the tomato and onion sauce, chop the garlic and onion, and fry them lightly. Then add the chopped, milled tomato. Cook on a low heat for about 45 minutes and add salt and sugar to taste.
For the cheese sauce, put the milk and cream in a saucepan to boil. Add the cheese and leave for a few more minutes on the heat. Beat the mixture, sieve it and season to taste. Put on one side.
