  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles
    Boil noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface.
  2. Prepare the Seafood Filling
    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shrimp, cooking until just pink (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from heat and gently mix with crab meat.
  3. Make the Cheese Mixture
    In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Fold in the shrimp and crab mixture.
  4. Prepare Alfredo Sauce
    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté briefly. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 3–5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble the Roll-Ups
    Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Spread filling evenly over each noodle, then roll tightly.
  6. Arrange and Sauce
    Place roll-ups seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with extra mozzarella and Parmesan.
  7. Bake to Perfection
    Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
  8. Garnish and Serve
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

What Makes This Dish Special?

Unlike traditional layered lasagna, these roll-ups create elegant individual servings while ensuring every bite has the perfect balance of pasta, filling, and sauce. The combination of shrimp and crab adds a delicate sweetness that pairs beautifully with the rich Alfredo sauce.


Tips for Perfect Seafood Lasagna Roll-Ups

1. Don’t Overcook the Shrimp

Cook just until pink—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.

2. Use Quality Crab Meat

Lump crab adds the best texture and flavor.

3. Keep Noodles Slightly Firm

Al dente noodles hold their shape better when rolled.

4. Generously Sauce the Dish

This prevents the roll-ups from drying out.

5. Let It Rest Before Serving

Allow 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.
