Ingredients:

Serving

2 (8 oz) packages cannelloni tubes, shells
3/4 cup butter, divided (plus 1 tbsp. butter)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups milk
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 lb fresh lump crabmeat, drained
1 lb mozzarella cheese, cubed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated and divided
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp dried sage
3 tbsp butter, melted

Directions:

Cook cannelloni according to package directions; drain. Toss pasta with 1 tablespoons butter; set aside.
Melt remaining 3/4 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in nutmeg. Set aside half of the sauce.
Add egg yolks to remaining sauce, stirring well. Stir in crabmeat, mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper. Stuff each cannelloni shell with an equal amount of crab mixture; place stuffed shells in two lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking dishes.
Add tomato paste and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese to reserved sauce and spoon over shells.
Cook mushrooms and sage in 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat until tender, stirring occasionally. Spoon mushrooms over sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.
