Serves/Makes: 8 | Ready In: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound cod fillets
6 ounces clams, drained and chopped
6 ounces langostinos or rock shrimp, cooked
6 ounces crab meat, picked over, shells removed
6 ounces dry radiatore, spirelli or other pasta, cooked
***Bechamel Sauce***
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 cup straight sherry, not dry
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
2 quarts boiling, salted water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Bake the cod fillets, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes, only until the cod flakes easily. Remove from the oven immediately to prevent overcooking.
When cooled, break the fillets in half lengthwise, then break each half into 1" pieces and set aside.
For Bechamel Sauce: In a heavy non-aluminum 3-quart pot, melt the butter, add the flour and cook on moderate heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Do not allow the flour to brown.
Add the milk and salt and bring to just below the boiling point, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and keep warm (180 degrees F).
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat until fragrant, then saute the garlic (do not let it brown). Add the sauteed garlic to the warm bechamel sauce.
Add the sherry to the pan in which the garlic was sauteed and simmer for 1 minute, then add to the warmed sauce. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce.
Place the bechamel mixture back onto low heat for a few minutes, then add the cooked cod, clams, langostinos or shrimp, crab meat and chopped parsley to the warm bechamel sauce and blend all ingredients thoroughly.
Serve immediately.
