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 the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay them flat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook until just pink, 3–4 minutes. Stir in crab meat, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook another 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan, heavy cream, and parsley. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, then spread one-third of the cheese mixture, followed by one-third of the seafood mixture, and drizzle with Alfredo sauce. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with noodles and sauce on top.
  5. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the surface. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling.
  6. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality jarred Alfredo sauce for best results.
  • Ensure seafood is well-drained to avoid watery lasagna.
  • Resting the lasagna helps set the layers before serving.
  • To enhance flavor, add sautéed spinach or mushrooms between layers.
  • For a crispy topping, use panko breadcrumbs and broil briefly at the end.
