Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and cool.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, add minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in crab meat, salt, pepper, and chili flakes; sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the Parmesan, mozzarella, and chopped parsley. Add heavy cream and blend until smooth.
  4. Spread Alfredo sauce in a baking dish. Layer three lasagna noodles, a portion of cheese filling, then seafood, and another layer of Alfredo. Repeat for three layers.
  5. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
