Preparation

In a big sauce pan at medium heat, melt the butter and add the garlic, shallot and leaks. Season with salt and pepper then cook for 3-4 minutes while stirring.
Add the white wine and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to reduce.
Add the seafood and cook for 5 minutes until slightly pink. Add the cream, chicken broth, parmesan and cook for another 5 minutes while stirring. Let it thicken!
Remove from heat and add the ricotta, lemon zest and thyme leaves. Stir well and let cool down for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 400°F.
Stuff your cannellonis and place them in a pyrex style baking dish. Cover everything with the gruyere cheese and throw in the oven for 10 minutes. Crank the heat to BROIL until cheese is nice and golden! Remove from oven and give it a 5 minutes rest before serving.

Our sommeliers suggest

Velenosi Villa Angela Pecorino 2014

Most of us don't really know the Italian whites. Here is a wine that comes from a region called Le Marche in central Italy, elaborated with pecorino. Smells flowers and lemon! See the product

Zusammenarbeit, Le Loup Rouge

This gose beer, both salty and acidulous, offers notes of wheat, coriander and lemon that will enhance the flavors of seafood. The acidity of the beer will cut into the fat of the cheese sauce and will offer a lactic taste. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
