Ingredients

Scale

Seafood and Pasta

  • 12 sheets of lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound crab meat
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Cheese and Cream

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 4 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Herbs and Toppings

  • 2 parsley sprigs, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumb topping

Instructions

  1. Set Up the Oven and Boil Pasta: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Cook the Seafood: In a large pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in the crab meat, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, finely chopped parsley, and heavy cream. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Place a layer of noodles over the sauce. Spread a portion of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by some of the seafood mixture. Drizzle with more Alfredo sauce. Repeat this layering process twice more, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with Alfredo sauce.
  5. Add Toppings and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and breadcrumb topping evenly over the assembled lasagna. Cover loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the lasagna is bubbly and topped with a golden crust.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes to set. Garnish with additional parsley if desired before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, cook the noodles just until al dente to prevent over-softening during baking.
  • Drain any excess liquid from the crab meat to avoid a watery lasagna.
  • You can substitute store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own for a richer flavor.
  • The breadcrumb topping adds a delightful crunch, but you can omit it for a gluten-free version.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated covered in the oven to maintain moisture.
