    Drain the cannelloni, toss them with a little olive oil in a bowl to prevent sticking, and cut each tube in half. Be careful not to break them.

    Make the béchamel sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, and bring to a boil. Season with nutmeg and salt. (You can use store-bought béchamel for convenience.)
