Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled & chopped
  • 1/2 lb crab meat (or imitation crab works too)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Whisk in flour to make a roux, then slowly add milk and cream. Stir in Parmesan, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Cook the Seafood: In a skillet, lightly cook shrimp and crab with a pinch of salt and pepper until just pink.
  3. Mix the Ricotta Filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, parsley, and a little salt.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna: In a greased baking dish, layer garlic cream sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, seafood, and mozzarella. Repeat layers and finish with sauce and cheese on top.
  5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Uncover and broil for 3–5 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest before slicing.

Notes

  • You can use imitation crab if fresh is unavailable.
  • Let the lasagna rest 10–15 minutes before slicing for cleaner servings.
  • Customize with your favorite seafood like scallops or lobster.
  • Perfect for holiday dinners or a special weekend treat.
