Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Sauté Seafood: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until pink, 3–4 minutes. Stir in crab, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2–3 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan, heavy cream, and chopped parsley.
Assemble Lasagna:
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Add a layer of noodles, 1/3 of cheese mixture, 1/3 seafood mixture, and drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
Repeat layers twice more.
Top with final noodles, Alfredo sauce, remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Rest: Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Resting after baking helps flavors meld and makes slicing easier.
Use a seafood blend or substitute with lobster for extra luxury.
Fresh parsley adds brightness—don’t skip the garnish!
