  • Total Time: 70 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

12 lasagna noodles

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 lb crab meat

2 cups ricotta cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cups Alfredo sauce

1 cup heavy cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, 3-4 minutes. Fold in crab meat, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan, heavy cream, and chopped parsley. Mix until well incorporated and smooth.
  4. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer noodles, then spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over noodles. Add 1/3 of the seafood mixture and drizzle with Alfredo sauce. Repeat layering process two more times, finishing with noodles and Alfredo sauce on top.
  5. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top layer. Add breadcrumbs for texture. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  6. Allow lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving to set the layers. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Consider adding spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra flavor and texture.
  • Mix other seafood like lobster or scallops for a more luxurious dish.
  • Swap ricotta with mascarpone for a creamier texture, or add more Parmesan for a stronger cheese flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat by covering with foil and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
