Instructions

Cook the lasagna noodles in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, scallops, crab meat, half of the ricotta, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of your lasagna dish. Layer 3 noodles on top, followed by half of the seafood filling, half of the spinach, a layer of mozzarella cheese, and another cup of marinara sauce.
Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining seafood filling, the remaining spinach, another layer of mozzarella, and a final cup of marinara sauce. Top with the last 3 noodles, and the remaining ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure seafood is fully drained and patted dry to prevent excess moisture in the lasagna.

Feel free to swap seafood for other proteins like chicken or ground beef, or use mushrooms for a vegetarian version.

To add more heat, increase red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeño to the spinach mixture.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free lasagna noodles.

Freezing the lasagna before or after baking is possible; if freezing before baking, thaw overnight before baking as directed.
