Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Mixture

9 lasagna noodles
1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup crab meat

Sauces and Cheeses

2 cups Alfredo sauce
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Flavorings

1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Cook Noodles: Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside, ensuring they do not stick together.
Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, half of the Alfredo sauce, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce evenly at the bottom of a baking dish. Place each lasagna noodle flat, spoon and spread the seafood mixture along the noodle, then roll it up tightly. Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Add Toppings: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll-ups to cover them. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Allow the baked roll-ups to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

For ease, you can use pre-cooked shrimp and crab meat purchased from the store.
Be careful not to overcook the noodles initially as they will continue to cook in the oven.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated; covered baking or microwaving works well.
For added flavor, try incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes into the filling if you like a mild heat.
Using fresh parsley garnish adds a nice color contrast and freshness to the rich dish.
