Cannelloni is a pasta in the form of thick tubes, which are very convenient to stuff with a variety of fillings, for example, shellfish. Cannelloni are usually baked. So the closest analog to this dish in Russian cuisine is a pasta casserole (in this case, with mussels).
Servings: 2
Ingredients
Cannelloni – 4 pcs.
Molluscs (I have rapini) – 70-100 g
Tomato – 0.5-1 pcs.
Basil – 3 sprigs
Cheese – 100 g
Cream – 100 ml
Salt – 2-3 pinches
Ground black pepper – 1 pinch
Directions
Cover the shellfish with water, add a pinch of salt. Put in the microwave for 3-4 minutes at 850 power.
Cool and chop finely.
Pour boiling water over the tomato and remove the skin.
Finely chop the peeled tomato.
Grate cheese on a coarse grater.
Chop the basil finely. You can set aside a few pieces of paper for decoration.
Mix the cannelloni mince: clams, tomato, basil, and a third of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I have 2 pinches of salt and 1 pinch of pepper). Mix.
Stuff the cannelloni tightly.
I had cannelloni that did not require prior preparation. Sometimes you need to boil them first – see the instructions on the package.
Prepare the cannelloni sauce. Mix the remaining cheese with the cream.
Place the stuffed cannelloni pasta in a mold and pour over the cream and cheese.
Bake the cannelloni with clams in the microwave, first for 8 minutes at maximum power (850), and then for another 4-5 minutes at 600 power. In the last 3 minutes, you need to watch the dish so that it does not burn.
Leave the cannelloni in the microwave after turning off for 10 minutes.
Instead of shellfish, you can use other seafood: scallops, squid, shrimp. Seafood pasta is one of the most popular varieties. If you are in Italy or in an Italian restaurant, be sure to order one, or you can make pasta in your kitchen, it will be no worse...
