Cannelloni with minced meat
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For me personally, Italy consists of handsome men, the Colosseum, bright sunshine, and delicious food. Honestly, my memories of pasta, pizza, and tiramisu are still fresh in my mind. It was in sunny Italy that I first tried cannelloni—a special type of stuffed pasta served with béchamel sauce. Today I want to share this memory and this recipe with you. Try making cannelloni with minced meat—I promise, the result is worth the effort.

Step 6
Prepare the white béchamel sauce. To do this, melt the butter in a saucepan, add flour, and mix into a homogeneous mass. Then gradually start pouring in warm milk, stirring the sauce constantly. The slower you pour the milk, the less chance there will be of lumps forming in the sauce. Add ground nutmeg and a little salt to the sauce, mix well, and remove from heat.
