    This White Seafood Lasagna is simple enough for novice cooks yet sophisticated enough for more experienced cooks. So fire up your ovens and get ready to indulge yourself in an indulgent Italian-inspired seafood feast!

    Make the Alfredo and Saute the Shrimp

    1. Prepare the lasagna according to the directions on the box. Drain the water and toss gently with a little olive oil so they don't stick together while cooling.
    2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add in the flour and whisk until combined.
    3. Slowly add in the milk, and whisk to blend evenly while cooking over medium heat. Do not let boil.

    2. In a separate bowl, blend the Ricotta, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the beaten eggs.
    3. Ladle ¾ cup of the Alfredo sauce to cover the bottom of a glass 9 x 13 baking dish.

    Equipment

    Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Below are some of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use when making this dish.

    • Ceramic 9 x 13 Baking Dish
    • Colander

    Storage

    Cover any leftover seafood lasagna with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator. For reheating, cover with foil and reheat for 35 minutes at 225 F.

    Tips for Success

    • Prepare the noodles and toss with olive oil so they can be set aside for later.
    • Make the Alfredo sauce ahead of time, or use a store bought Alfredo sauce. It will cut several steps out and simplify this seafood lasagna recipe.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why do you put egg in ricotta cheese for this seafood lasagna recipe?

    Adding an egg helps to bind the ricotta filling, giving it a more body.

    Is lasagna better with ricotta or cottage cheese?

    Cottage cheese will give you a slightly lighter lasagna while ricotta will give you a bit thicker, more rich texture.

    Food Safety

    • Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat
    • Wash hands after touching raw meat
    • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
    • Never leave cooking food unattended
    • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
    • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove
