Ingredients
Scale
Seafood and Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup crab meat
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Lasagna Components
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce, divided
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Additional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Seafood Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chopped shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, half of the Alfredo sauce, and minced garlic. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce evenly over the bottom of a baking dish. Lay out each lasagna noodle flat, then spread a portion of the seafood mixture along the noodle’s length. Carefully roll up the noodle starting from one end and place each roll seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the arranged roll-ups in the baking dish. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top to create a cheesy crust.
- Bake the Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes to heat through and meld flavors. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese topping is bubbly and slightly golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the lasagna roll-ups cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, herby finish.
Notes
- You can substitute the seafood with other preferred proteins like cooked chicken or turkey if desired.
- Be careful not to overcook the noodles in step one to avoid them breaking apart when rolling.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better flavor and melting quality.
- Allow the baked dish to rest briefly to make serving easier and to prevent burning your mouth.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
