  3. Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for 20 minutes or until filling is thick enough to hold in a cannelloni pasta tube.
  4. While the meat sauce is cooking, stir the béchamel sauce mix into the cold water to form a paste.
  5. Whisk the paste into the boiling water and simmer for 1 minute. Mix through half of the grated cheeses.
  6. To assemble the dish, spread the tomato sauce across the base of a large ovenproof baking dish.
  7. Place the filled cannelloni tubes on top and pour over the cheese sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 30-40 minutes until the pasta is tender and the topping is golden brown.
