Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add crab meat, season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Assembly

  • Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Add a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
  • Add 1/3 of the seafood mixture on top and drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
  • Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with noodles and Alfredo sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top layer. Add breadcrumbs for a crunchy texture.

Baking

  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added zest, garnish with extra parsley or grated parmesan cheese. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be just cooked to maintain their texture.
