DELICIOUS SEA FOOD LASAGNE

Luscious Seafood Lasagna:
Ingredients for seafood lasagna with white sauce recipe

1 green or yellow onion, chopped

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp and 1/2 cup of butter

1/2 cup of chicken broth

8 oz. or one bottle clam juice; for a deeper seafood taste. (Skip if unavailable.)

1 lb. scallops

1 pound small shrimp, deveined and peeled

8 ounces crabmeat imitation, chopped in small bits

1/4 tsp white pepper

1/2 cup of white flour

1-1/2 cups of milk

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup heavy 15%-35% cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

1 package frozen spinach, thawed and well drained

9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

500g mozzarella cheese, grated

Instructions:

In a deep skillet, slightly cook the onion in olive oil and 2 tsp butter until done.

Stir in chicken broth and pour in the 8 oz clam juice; heat until it boils.

Add in the scallops, shrimps, crabmeat and a sprinkle of pepper; heat back up to a boil.

Set heat to medium-low; uncovered, let it simmer for

4-5 minutes or until shrimps turn pink and scallops are firmer, stirring very gently.

Drain, reserving the liquid from cooking; set seafood preparation aside.

In another skillet, melt the butter that is left; stir in white flour until well blended.

Do not allow the butter to brown, if this happens you have to start this part over.

Mix milk and reserved seafood sauce; gradually add to the skillet.

When mixing, its important to always turn the same way.

Add salt and some pepper. Bring to a boil; once boiling point reached, lower heat immediately.

Cook a bit more and stir for 2 minutes, until thickened.

Remove from the heat, pour in cream and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

Mix in 3/4 cup white sauce into the seafood concoction.

Spread 1/2 cup white sauce in a greased deep large enough baking dish.

Top with noodles;spread the spinach over the noodles

Just remember to drain the spinach well before spreading

Then spread with half of the seafood preparation and 1-1/4 cup of sauce.

Repeat the layer pattern. Lay the last layer with remaining noodles,

the seafood sauce and spread evenly the rest of the grated mozzarella cheese.

Put in the oven, uncovered, at 350° for 35 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and brown.

Allow to cool down for 20 minutes before serving.

Serves 10 seafood lasagna portions.
