How To Make the Seafood Lasagna Creamy Cheese

Step 1: Prepare the Seafood Filling

In a skillet, sauté shrimp, crab, and scallops in butter with minced garlic until just cooked through. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Béchamel Sauce

Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually pour in warm milk. Stir continuously until thickened. Add minced garlic, a pinch of nutmeg, and salt to taste. This creamy sauce will coat the seafood and pasta beautifully.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheese Mixture

In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan, and chopped spinach (if using). Season with a bit of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 4: Layer the Lasagna

Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Place lasagna sheets over the sauce, then add the ricotta mixture, followed by seafood, a drizzle of béchamel, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat layers until the dish is full, finishing with a generous layer of béchamel, mozzarella, and Parmesan on top.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to set beautifully for perfect servings.
