Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk, and cook until sauce is thickened and smooth. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne and cream.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and add the egg yolk, beating vigorously with the whisk. Let cool slightly. Add the cubes of cheese, stirring rapidly with the whisk.
- Meanwhile, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add salt. Add the tortellini and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain well. Scatter the tortellini into a baking dish (a dish measuring 13 1/2 by 8 1/2 by 2 inches is ideal) and spoon the cheese sauce on top.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese over the dish and place in the oven. Bake 10 minutes. To obtain a golden glaze on top of the casserole, run it briefly under the broiler until browned.
