Shell Pasta With Salmon Bechamel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place tomatoes in an oven-safe skillet. Toss with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes until dark and blistered, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until melted, then add flour and whisk until smooth and thickened. Cook, whisking, but do not let darken, only about 2 minutes. Slowly add warm milk, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Place tomatoes in a blender or mini food processor and carefully blend until smooth.
• Add pureed tomatoes to bechamel. Season to taste, and continue to cook until desired thickness has been reached, another minute or two. Add drained pasta directly to bechamel and stir until every shell is coated and pasta is perfectly al dente. Garnish with fresh basil, additional black pepper and shaved Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in salted boiling water, following directive on package. Drain and set aside in an oven dish.
• Drain salmon, but keep the liquid. Mash the salmon with the bones. Set aside.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Stir 1 minute. Add milk and bring to boil, while stirring. Reduce heat and keep cooking stirring constantly, until thick. Set aside in a warm place.
• Melt remaining butter in a skillet. Cook the onion 5 minutes, until tender. Add to the previous mixture of milk. Then add the salmon and his liquid. Add mozzarella and parsley. Add salt and pepper. Let heat while stirring, until cheese has melted.
• Pour the sauce on the pasta.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a large baking dish lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a well-seasoned frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook salmon with onion, garlic, dill, and parsley in the hot oil until it easily flakes with a fork, flipping once, about 10 minutes total. Add white wine and cream cheese. Fold into the fish mixture until everything is well coated. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain pasta shells. Stuff shells with mixture and place into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes.
• While the shells are cooking, mix half-and-half, wine, cream cheese, dill, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a saucepan and cook the sauce over medium heat until butter and cream cheese have melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove shells from the oven and top with cream sauce. Serve.
