Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups scallops cleaned
  • 1 cup crab meat
  • 4 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the Seafood: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add shrimp and scallops, cooking until just opaque. Set aside and fold in the crab meat.
  • Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and stock. Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, and half of the mozzarella. Mix well.
  • Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a layer of sauce in the baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, followed by the cheese mixture, seafood, and sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.
  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  1. Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest seafood available for the best flavor.
  2. Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Cook just until opaque to prevent rubbery texture.
  3. Layer Evenly: Ensures each bite has a balance of noodles, seafood, and sauce.
  4. Let It Rest: Allow the lasagna to set before slicing for cleaner servings.
