Creating your Seafood Lasagna involves a few straightforward steps. Just follow this guide to achieve mouthwatering results:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Seafood Mixture: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute. Add shrimp and scallops, cooking until opaque (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and incorporate lemon juice and zest.
4. Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Assemble the Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom. Layer three noodles, a portion of the cheese mixture, half the seafood mixture, and more béchamel sauce. Repeat this process twice more, finishing with noodles and béchamel sauce.
6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
7. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the lasagna cool for about 15 minutes before slicing.
