Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets lasagna noodles
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound scallops, small or medium-sized
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 pound ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking until lightly browned and just opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk in the flour to make a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, and basil. Mix until well combined.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the cream sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3 sheets of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, then scatter 1/3 of the shrimp and scallops evenly. Pour 1/4 of the cream sauce over the seafood.
Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, seafood, cream sauce) two more times.
Finish with a final layer of lasagna noodles, the remaining cream sauce, and the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley or basil if desired.
