Ingredients

Scale

Seafood & Cheese Filling

  • 1 cup Chopped Shrimp (can substitute with scallops or lobster)
  • 1 cup Crab Meat (canned crab is an easy alternative)
  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese (can swap with cottage cheese for a lighter version)
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic (use garlic powder if fresh isn’t available)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Lasagna & Sauce

  • 12 Lasagna Noodles (use gluten-free noodles if needed)
  • 24 oz Alfredo Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (mix with gouda for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (substitute with Pecorino Romano for sharper taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (optional, omit if unavailable)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook them until they are al dente, about 8-10 minutes depending on the brand. Drain the noodles carefully and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, half of the Alfredo sauce, and minced garlic. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well blended, ensuring even distribution of seafood and cheese.
  3. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking. Take each lasagna noodle and spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the seafood and cheese filling along one edge. Carefully roll up the noodle tightly, then place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Add Sauce and Cheese: Once all the roll-ups are arranged, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the top of the rolled noodles. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese generously over the dish to create a rich, cheesy topping.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld while warming the filling thoroughly.
  6. Bake Uncovered to Finish: Remove the foil carefully to avoid steam burns. Bake for an additional 10 minutes uncovered, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, indicating the cheese has melted perfectly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Let the roll-ups cool for a few minutes once out of the oven to set. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm for a comforting, delightful meal that highlights seafood and creamy Alfredo flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute the seafood with scallops or lobster for variety or based on availability.
  • For a lighter version, use cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and try reduced-fat Alfredo sauce.
  • Gluten-free lasagna noodles work well for those avoiding gluten.
  • If fresh garlic isn’t available, garlic powder is a convenient alternative, adjusting quantity to taste.
  • To add extra flavor, consider mixing gouda cheese with mozzarella.
  • Ensure noodles are laid flat after cooking to prevent sticking and ease rolling.
  • Covering the dish during the first bake keeps the roll-ups moist, and uncovering towards the end helps the cheese brown beautifully.
