Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Instructions

  1. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes for me was PERFECT. Drain pasta and place each shell on slightly oiled cookie sheet/platter, do not lay on top of eachother, you do not want them to stick.
  2. In large bowl mix together your ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup of parmesan, egg yolk, basil, seafood, lemon zest, salt and pepper (mix well).
  3. Fill your noodles with about a tblspn of filling eachother. Make sure to mold the mixture slightly so it is nice and compact (you do not want it to cook out of the noodles).
  4. Place each shell into a buttered/oiled baking pan (9X13). If using Shell noodles place them so the open edge is facing up. Layer your Bchamel sauce evenly over the shells, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and 1 cup of shredded Mozzarella. Bake until bubbly and the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
  5. Bchamel SauceIn a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  6. Add your minced garlic and lemon zest and let saute' for a couple minutes, do not let it burn.
  7. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  8. Gradually add the warmed half and half (warm the half and half in separate saucepan over low/med heat), whisking constantly until the sauce is thick, smooth, and creamy, about 10 minutes (do not allow the sauce to boil).
  9. Remove from heat, and stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
