Remove from heat and add the Camembert cheese, stirring until it is melted. Stir in the thyme, bread crumbs, Parmesan and eggs. Season with salt and pepper, mix well and set aside.
4. In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles in boiling, salted water, 2 at a time. Drain and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
5. Spread one-twelfth of the filling along the longer edge of each drained, cooked noodle, and roll up to make the cannelloni.
6. Rosé Sauce.
7. In a sauce pan over medium heat, soften the shallots and garlic in the butter for two minutes.

10. Stir in the cream and continue cooking over very low heat for 10 minutes.
11. Add the camembert and thyme, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and whir just until smooth (a food mill works well too).
