- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best flavor)
For Homemade Alfredo Sauce (Optional):

- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional, for depth)
For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon zest (optional, for a bright touch)

Equipment Needed
- Large pot (for boiling noodles)
- Large skillet (for homemade sauce)
- Medium mixing bowl
- 9×13-inch baking dish
- Tongs or slotted spoon
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
Follow these detailed steps to create creamy, seafood-packed lasagna roll-ups that will wow your guests.
Step 1: Cook the Lasagna Noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 9 lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until al dente.
- Drain the noodles and rinse briefly with cold water to prevent sticking. Lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper to cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Seafood Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped shrimp, 1 cup shredded crab meat, 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce (If Using Homemade)
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually stir in ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese and ¼ tsp black pepper, whisking until smooth. Add a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Remove from heat. (If using store-bought sauce, skip to Step 4.)
Step 4: Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread ½ cup Alfredo sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Lay a lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2-3 tbsp of the seafood filling evenly over the noodle, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Carefully roll the noodle up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
- Pour the remaining 1.5 cups Alfredo sauce over the roll-ups, ensuring they’re well-coated. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella and ½ cup grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes for extra flair.
Serving Suggestions
- Main Dish: Serve with a side of garlic bread and a green salad with vinaigrette.
- Wine Pairing: Pair with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio to complement the seafood.
- For a Crowd: Double the recipe and use two baking dishes for larger gatherings.
- Light Option: Serve with steamed asparagus or roasted zucchini for a veggie boost.
