Instructions
- Cook jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water until just past al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and cool.
- Sauté diced onion in olive oil and butter until translucent; add minced garlic. Cook chopped shrimp until opaque, then mix with crab, lobster, cream cheese, sour cream, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, herbs, and seasonings.
- Make the cheese sauce by melting butter, whisking in flour, then gradually adding warmed milk and heavy cream until thickened. Stir in Gruyère and remaining cheeses; season.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread some cheese sauce in a greased baking dish. Stuff pasta shells with seafood filling and arrange them in the dish. Pour remaining cheese sauce over shells and top with extra mozzarella.
- Cover with foil; bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
