Crab And Silverbeet Chard Cannelloni

Something fairly original i came up with that i thought tasted great and was rich and filling without being too over the top. Note that i pinched recipe #62371 from evelyn/athens as part of the recipe.

Whisk in flour and cook 3 minutes.
Whisk in milk and bring to boil , stirring.
Add salt and nutmeg.
Reduce heat and simmer until the same consistency as thickened cream.
Refrigerate the sauce for 30 minutes or more.

Fill cannelloni tubes with the mixture.
Spread pasta sauce evenly over the bottom of a small baking dish.
Place the cannelloni tubes over the top in the dish.
