CRAB STUFFED SHELLS WITH ORANGE-SCENTED TOMATO SAUCE
These easy, homemade Crab Stuffed Shells are light, fresh, and super citrusy. They're reminiscent of crab cakes wrapped in a pasta hug. The orange-infused tomato sauce is refreshing and delicate. It's the perfect complement to these seafood stuffed shells.

Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch or another shallow 3-quart baking dish.
- To make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan or medium saucepan (with a lid) over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the basil, garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and the red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken broth, orange zest, and sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat, and cover. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season the sauce with more salt and even an additional pinch of sugar if needed. Puree the sauce in a food processor, blender, or food mill, and return to the pan. You should have about 3 to 3 ½ cups. The sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead; cool, cover, and refrigerate. Reheat over medium heat.
- To cook the pasta shells: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, generously salt and add the pasta shells. Cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes-these shells often take longer than the package directions suggest. Drain in a colander, and arrange them on a plate or small tray lined with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry.
- To make the filling: In a medium frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter until hot. Add the green onions and celery and cook, stirring, until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and stir for 1 minute more to moisten. Remove the frying pan from the heat and stir in half the basil, orange zest, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well and gently mix in the crabmeat (after picking through for shells) ½ teaspoon salt, and the eggs. Fill the shells generously with the crab mixture. The shells can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.
- To assemble and bake: Ladle half of the sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the shells in the dish. Nap the center of each pasta shell with some of the remaining sauce.
- Bake, uncovered, until the shells are hot, 30 to 35 minutes, or longer if they have been refrigerated. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining basil before serving. Nap a bit of the extra sauce onto each plate and place several stuffed shells on top. Save any additional sauce to remoisten any leftover shells when reheating them.

Steps:
- 1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, and add pasta shells; boil until al dente. Drain well.
- 2. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab, shrimp, onion, celery, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, pepper and lemon juice; mix well.
- 3. 3. Stuff cream cheese mixture into the jumbo pasta shells. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- 4. EXPLANATION AND TIP FROM TASTE OF HOME; Neufchatel cheese is a soft unripened cheese that originates in France. The American version, which is similar to cream cheese, is made from pasteurized milk and cream. American Neufchatel is slightly lower in calories than cream cheese and has slightly more moisture. Regular cream cheese can be substituted for Neufchatel cheese, especially in recipes for dips and spreads, with good results. You may notice a slightly different texture in cooked products.
