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
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then 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.
3. Step 3: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Lay out each cooked noodle, spoon the seafood mixture along one edge, then roll up the noodles and place them seam-side down in the dish.
4. Step 4: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll-ups. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
5. Step 5: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Step 6: Allow the lasagna roll-ups to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sauté the garlic in olive oil before adding it to the seafood mixture.
• Swap crab and shrimp for cooked lobster or scallops for a different seafood twist.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a subtle heat kick.
• Use fresh herbs like basil or thyme to enhance the sauce and garnish.

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 to maintain the creamy texture. Avoid microwaving to prevent the sauce from separating.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I prepare the lasagna roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll-ups a day in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Bake just before serving to ensure freshness.

What can I substitute if I don’t have Alfredo sauce?

You can make a quick Alfredo sauce by combining butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese on the stove. Alternatively, a béchamel sauce works well as a creamy base.

Sauce and Cheese

• 2 cups Alfredo sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Other Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside to cool slightly for easy handling.
2. Prepare Seafood Filling: 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, mixing gently until well incorporated.
3. Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking. Lay each cooked noodle flat, spread an even layer of the seafood mixture over it, then carefully roll up the noodle. Place each roll seam-side down into the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
4. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled roll-ups. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top to create a rich, cheesy crust during baking.
5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with foil to keep moisture in and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
6. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes to set. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving warm.
