Zubereitung von Cannelloni Mornay
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the tomato sauce base: Spread 2 cups of your favorite tomato sauce evenly in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Make the Mornay sauce: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of hot milk until smooth and thickened. Microwave for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the seafood filling: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped leeks or onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1/4 cup of chopped shallots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 10 ounces of chopped spinach, 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1.5 cups cooked seafood (shrimp, scallops, etc.), 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 large egg to the skillet. Mix well to combine.
- Fill the cannelloni tubes: Fill a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip with the seafood filling. Pipe the filling into the cannelloni tubes. Alternatively, spoon the filling into the tubes.
- Arrange the cannelloni: Arrange the filled cannelloni tubes in a single layer over the tomato sauce in the prepared baking dish.
- Top with Mornay sauce: Pour the Mornay sauce evenly over the cannelloni, ensuring each tube is coated.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake: Bake covered for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the top, if desired.
