Shell Pasta With Salmon Bechamel Sauce Recipes

SALMON-STUFFED PASTA SHELLS

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.
