Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles for 8–10 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, then add peeled shrimp. Cook until rosy pink, then add crab meat. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer Alfredo sauce, lasagna noodles, half of the cheese mixture, and half of the sautéed seafood. Repeat twice, finishing with a layer of noodles.
  6. Top with remaining Alfredo sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella and breadcrumbs. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
