I had issues with the cannelloni breaking while cooking. Any tips?
My kids loved it! Stuffed shells with fishy stuff? Who woulda thought? 😂
Yummy!
I tried this, and honestly, it wasn’t that great. The seafood was a bit too fishy for my taste. Maybe I did something wrong?
Why is there seafood in pasta? This is just wrong! No thanks.
It’s alright but I prefer meat in my pasta. Seafood and pasta… not a good combo in my opinion. Just saying!
Was honestly disappointed. The cannelloni turned mushy and the filling was bland.
I don’t know about this. The seafood part seems too much. Can I just use chicken instead?
I’ve never heard of seafood in cannelloni. Isn’t it too fishy?
I thought the same before trying it! It’s actually really flavorful and not too fishy at all. Give it a shot!
Sounds weird tbh. Seafood and pasta? Never seen that before. What if it tastes gross?
Wow, I never thought to put seafood in cannelloni! This is going to impress my friends at dinner. Thanks!
I didn’t have some ingredients, so I used chicken instead. Still decent!
This is definitely a keeper! The combo of seafood and cheese is fantastic.
Yum! My grandma used to make something similar, but I think she used crab. Still, this was good!
That’s awesome! Crab would be such a nice twist! I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
Why didn’t you just use fresh tomatoes instead of canned? Makes no sense!
Fresh tomatoes can be pretty watery though, right? Canned ones give a nice richness to the sauce. I think it’s okay!
I dunno about that. I think canned is easier and tastes fine too. Who’s got time to chop fresh all the time?
Yummy!! I added some extra cheese and garlic. My kids loved it! Definitely a keeper 🦐❤️
Extra cheese and garlic? That’s genius! My kids are picky eaters, but I gotta try that too! 🦐✨
This was soooo good! My family loved it!
Easy to follow, but I added some chili flakes for a kick. Loved it! 🌶️
Seafood and cheese? Sounds kinda weird. How do those flavors mix? 🤔
Chili flakes, great idea! I never thought of that. I usually keep it simple. Thanks for the tip! 😊
This was AMAZING! The flavors were so rich and delicious. Will definitely make again.
I’m so glad you loved it! The seafood really makes this dish pop! I can’t wait to try it myself!
Sounds fancy, but is it really that good? I mean, seafood in pasta sounds heavy. 🤔
Too complicated for me, I prefer simpler recipes. Gonna skip this one.
This one is actually not that hard! Just follow the steps. But sure, if you don’t wanna bother, I get it.
I get what you mean! Some recipes can be super long. I like to keep it simple too. Maybe try just pasta with butter or something?
Tried it last night. The flavors are just wow! Will make again.
This recipe is a total hit! The seafood filling was amazing and so flavorful. Will definitely make it again!
I totally agree! The seafood filling was the best part. Can’t wait to serve this at my next dinner party!
Sounds great, but isn’t cannelloni hard to make? Never tried it. How do you get the seafood inside the tubes without it spilling out?
