Instructions: Directions:
Cannelloni - Cook the cannelloni noodles for half the time directed on the package. Drain and let cool. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan until hot. Add the zucchini, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion, salt and pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes.

Add the wine and chicken stock and boil until most of the liquid cooks away, 4-5 minutes. Place zucchini mixture into food processor with the ricotta and 1/3 cup of the parmesan cheese, the prosciutto and parsley. Process to a smooth consistency. Transfer filling to piping bag. Place the tip of bag into one end of the cannelloni and fill halfway. Repeat for the other side of noodle. Pour 1 cup of the tomato sauce into a 9x13 baking dish. Place filled cannelloni on top of sauce. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over and top with bechamel sauce. Top with remaining parmesan cheese. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Bechamel Sauce: In a large saucepan, warm the milk until steaming. In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the melted butter to create a roux. Continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not let the flour brown. Remove pan from heat. Add the nutmeg to hot milk. Pour a little at a time of the warm milk into the roux, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. When milk has been added, return pan to heat, whisking until sauce thickens.
