Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles
1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
Boil salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, half of the Alfredo sauce, and the sautéed garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
-
Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the seafood filling onto each lasagna noodle. Roll up gently and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
-
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll-ups. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
-
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy.
Variations
Add red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne to the filling for a little heat.
Use a seafood mix with scallops or lobster for an upscale twist.
Swap ricotta with cottage cheese or mascarpone for a different texture.
Use homemade Alfredo sauce if you want full control over the ingredients and richness.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes, or microwave individual portions on medium heat.
You can also assemble the roll-ups ahead of time and refrigerate (unbaked) for up to 24 hours.
FAQ
Can I use imitation crab or precooked shrimp?
Yes. While fresh seafood offers better flavor and texture, imitation crab and precooked shrimp are great time-saving substitutes.
Can I freeze this recipe?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled roll-ups before baking. Wrap the dish tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
Can I make my own Alfredo sauce?
Absolutely. A simple mix of butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan will do the trick. Homemade sauce will give you the best flavor.
