Steps

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.
• Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
• In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste.
• Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
• Fill each cannelloni tube with the meat filling using a spoon or piping bag.
• Place the filled cannelloni tubes in a baking dish and pour the bechamel sauce over them.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the cannelloni is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

• You can add some grated mozzarella cheese on top of the Parmesan for an extra cheesy flavor.
• If you don't have cannelloni tubes, you can use lasagna sheets instead. Just roll the meat filling inside the sheets and place them in the baking dish.
