Categories     Shellfish     Valentine's Day     Wedding

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 8-ounce package cannelloni (about 14 cannelloni)
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound cooked deveined shrimp, coarsely chopped
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1/2 pound cooked lobster meat, coarsely chopped (from one 1 1/4-pound lobster)
1/4 cup finely chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as tarragon, parsley, and basil
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Truffle oil
Salt and white and black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375?F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole with 1 teaspoon olive oil. To cook the pasta, combine 6 quarts water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain, and rinse. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil; reserve. Meanwhile, melt 8 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the milk and whisk to combine well. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and cook for 5 minutes, until very thick and the floury taste is gone. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and the nutmeg. Remove from the heat and press plastic wrap onto the surface of the sauce so that a skin will not form; reserve. Combine the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the shrimp, crabmeat, lobster, herbs, and 1/2 cup of the sauce. Gently toss to combine. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Stuff each of the cannelloni with 1/4 cup of the shellfish filling and place them side by side in the prepared casserole. Sprinkle any remaining filling on top of the cannelloni. Pour the sauce over the cannelloni, sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, and bake until heated through, bubbly, and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Makes about 8 servings. To serve drizzle with truffle oil and parmesan shavings

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cannelloni turned out mushy and the filling was runny.

This was a waste of time and money. The lobster was tough and the cheese sauce was watery.

The cannelloni were a bit too al dente for my taste, but the filling was very good.
