 Cannelloni with Seafood Recipe
Cannelloni is a dish as characteristic of Italy as pizza and pasta, although in fact it is pasta with all kinds of fillings. I suggest you get acquainted with cannelloni with seafood. Interestingly, I met the idea of using crab sticks in this recipe precisely in the vastness of the Italian (!) culinary blogosphere. Apparently, there are problems with fresh crabs in Italy, and then high-quality crab sticks may well diversify the taste of the dish and add those sweet crab notes to it. In our latitudes, the situation with crabs is much worse, and sometimes you really want to treat yourself to Italian dishes, well - there is nothing easier!

  1. Prepare the products. If you use ready-made cannelloni, you may need to boil them beforehand (follow the instructions on the package). Defrost the seafood. For the filling, you will need an assortment of seafood - shrimp / scallops / octopus / crab / quality surimi / squid, etc. It is advisable to buy seafood separately and choose frozen. Since they are usually already overcooked in the finished assortment, and when cooked they become even more tasteless and rubbery. * * If you cook cannelloni yourself, add a pinch of fresh herbs to the dough.
