Thinking about the meals for the upcoming holidays, I’ve decided to add to the Christmas recipe Advent calendar these fish cannelloni with salmon, shrimp, and ricotta, very simple and flavored with ricotta, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a touch of parsley. Chives are also great if you prefer.
On the blog, you’ll already find other similar recipes, like lasagna, but this version of fish cannelloni is an easy and different proposal from the usual, which will surely appeal to those who love the sea on their table!
I used fresh sheets, without the need to parboil them because they were very thin, but you can also use dry CANNELLONI: in this case, it’s important to prepare a more liquid béchamel so that the pasta cooks perfectly during baking.

Ingredients
- to taste lasagna sheets (about 8)

- 7.1 oz shrimp (shelled)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (plus more before baking if desired)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Tools
- Baking Pans
Steps
In a pan with oil and garlic, sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, add the salmon pieces and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Then remove the garlic and let it cool.
In a bowl, combine ricotta, cooked fish, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you have a creamy and compact mixture.
IF the sheets are particularly thick, it’s advisable to parboil the pasta sheets for 1 minute and then spread them on a cloth (mine are thin, so I skipped this step),Distribute the filling, roll each sheet, and form the cannelloni.
Pour a layer of béchamel at the bottom of the baking dish, arrange the cannelloni without overlapping them, and cover with the remaining béchamel.For a crispier gratin, sprinkle with Parmesan or breadcrumbs.
Bake in the oven at 350 °F for about 25-30 minutes, until the surface is golden and gratinated.Enjoy your meal! Annalisa
