 Ingredients

For the Lasagna:

  • 9 lasagna noodles (cooked al dente)
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation crab)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Sauce & Topping:

  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pasta

Cook the lasagna noodles in salted water until just tender (al dente). Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper or a clean towel to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Seafood Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, ricotta cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

  • Spread 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
  • Take one lasagna noodle, spread about 2–3 tablespoons of the seafood filling evenly across it, then roll it up tightly.
  • Place the roll-up seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all noodles.

4. Add Sauce & Cheese

Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll-ups. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

5. Bake

  • Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6. Serve

Let the lasagna roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

  2. Extra flavor – Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the filling to brighten the seafood taste.
  3. Healthy twist – Add spinach or kale to the filling for extra nutrition.
  4. Cheese swap – Substitute ricotta with cream cheese for a creamier texture.
  5. Meal prep – Assemble the roll-ups in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Just bake when ready.
