  3. Next, prep for the mornay sauce by making a roux with flour and butter. Stir in all the milk and whisk until it it lump free. Add cheese to it and adjust for seasoning by adding salt, pepper and nutmeg and keep aside.
  4. Now, boil water in a pot. Add salt to it. Drop your cannelloni pasta one by one for about 30 seconds and remove. Blanching the pasta will help make it softer to eat in the final dish.
