Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup crab meat
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, half of the Alfredo sauce, and minced garlic. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, stirring until well blended.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, sauté the garlic in olive oil before mixing it into the filling.
  • Substitute fresh crab meat with canned crab if preferred, and be sure to drain it well.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a subtle spicy kick.
  • Try using spinach or basil in the filling for a fresh herbal note.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals to avoid drying out the sauce.
