MOM'S SEAFOOD LASAGNA
Growing up, I always loved when my mom made this lasagna. I changed a couple of things-no-boil lasagna noodles make assembly much faster. Also, I like the nutty, robust flavor of Romano cheese, so I added that, too.

Steps:
- For the seafood: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and seafood seasoning and cook until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet.
- Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shrimp and crabmeat.
- Make the béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until combined. Gradually add the milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Romano until melted. Set aside.
- Make the spinach-artichoke ricotta: Stir together the ricotta, spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and egg until combined. Season with salt. Fold in 1 cup of the béchamel sauce.
- Assemble the lasagna: Spread about 1/2 cup of the béchamel sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 3 to 4 lasagna noodles and about 2/3 cup béchamel sauce. Top with half of the spinach-artichoke ricotta and half of the seafood. Repeat the layers once. Top with the remaining 3 to 4 lasagna noodles and béchamel sauce. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Romano.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (coat with cooking spray before adding to the top to prevent the cheese from sticking). Bake, covered, until the lasagna is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the noodles are tender and the top is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your lasagna will taste. Choose seafood that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of seafood: Feel free to mix and match different types of seafood in your lasagna. Some good options include shrimp, lobster, crab, scallops, and mussels.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the lasagna together. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and complements the seafood. A good option is a white sauce made with béchamel or a tomato sauce made with fresh tomatoes.
- Layer the lasagna properly: When assembling the lasagna, be sure to layer the ingredients in the correct order. Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of pasta, then a layer of seafood, then a layer of sauce, and so on. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the lasagna until it is golden brown and bubbly: The lasagna is done baking when it is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. The cheese should be melted and slightly browned.
Conclusion:
Seafood lasagna is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover seafood. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a seafood lasagna that will impress your family and friends.
