Pasta baked with mixed seafood in a creamy white béchamel sauce. It's like a gratin made with pasta - which is why I describe this as French-ish! The key to getting gorgeous flavour in the sauce is searing the seafood in the skillet first, then making the sauce in the same skillet to soak up all those seafood flavours!
