Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box manicotti pasta (about 12 shells) or an (8-ounce) box cannelloni
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Butter for the pan
Béchamel sauce (page 225)

Steps:

  • Bring a 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, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan, the egg yolk, basil, crab, salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13 x 2-inch glass baking dish.
  • Fill the manicotti with the crab mixture and place in the prepared baking dish. Top the filled manicotti with the béchamel sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly and the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
