How to Make Weight Watchers Crab Ricotta Basil Cannelloni
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Finely chop 2 shallots. In a large bowl, gently combine 150g lump crab meat (or 200g minced chicken breast with 1 tsp dried sage and 1 clove minced garlic), 2 chopped shallots, 250g ricotta cheese, 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1 large egg.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a teaspoon to carefully fill each cannelloni tube with the crab ricotta mixture.
- Pour 1/2 cup of your favorite pasta sauce into the bottom of a 1.5L (approximately 6-cup) ovenproof ceramic dish.
- Arrange the filled cannelloni shells in a single layer over the sauce.
- Pour the remaining pasta sauce evenly over the cannelloni.
- Sprinkle generously with 50g shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
