# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 23 x 33 cm baking dish and set aside.
02 -
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk while whisking continuously, cooking until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and mix in parmesan cheese.
03 -
In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, whisked egg, dried parsley, and salt until homogeneous. Set aside.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seafood mix, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes until just cooked through.
05 -
Spread a portion of bechamel sauce over the base of the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with a third of the cheese filling, followed by a third of the cooked seafood, and a third of the bechamel sauce. Repeat the layering twice more. Finish with mozzarella and additional parmesan on top.
06 -
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. If the surface browns excessively, cover loosely with foil and continue baking until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
07 -
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for several minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Allowing the lasagna to rest before slicing ensures clean layers and optimal texture.
02 -
For an even creamier finish, freshly grate all cheeses prior to assembly.
