  • 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.
