Ingredients
  

For the lasagna
  • 12-15 noodles lasagna noodles (oven-ready or regular)
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound scallops
  • 2 cups crab meat
  • 3 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley for presentation

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and scallops, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with the egg, a sprinkle of salt, and a pinch of pepper until smooth and creamy.
Layering and Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the seafood, and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella.
  3. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  4. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Covering the lasagna while baking keeps it moist. This dish can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, just add about 15 minutes to the baking time. Substitute seafood with lobster or veggies for a vegetarian version.
