Instructions To Make Seafood Lasagna:
- Seafood Sauce: In a pan, pour olive oil and add chopped onions and fine chopped garlic cloves. Cook for about ten minutes until caramelized. Then add carrots, celery, and seafood mixture for five minutes. Add wine and let it dry.
- Mix everything and add chopped tomatoes. Add salt, red chili powder, dried oregano, basil, black pepper, bay leaf, and sugar. Add water and bring to a boil (don’t add all water from the beginning, better to check while simmering). Let slowly simmer for 90-120 minutes. It has to be a thin watery sauce; add broth if it’s too thick.
- Bechamel Sauce: Melt butter in a pan on low heat, then add flour and mix for two minutes to cook. Add warm milk and keep whisking until creamy (4-5 min). Add salt, nutmeg, and parmesan cheese.
- Assemble lasagna: Spread a thin layer of sauce in a large baking dish and top with a layer of overlapping noodles.
- Prepare lasagna in a casserole dish. Pour chopped tomatoes and olive oil to avoid sticking. Then layer of pasta, seafood sauce, fresh herbs, parmesan, bechamel sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat three more layers (press a little with your hands when you add the pasta layer) add extra cheese on top. Cover with foil.
- Cook in the oven at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes. For the last 10 minutes or so remove the foil and broil. (If you don’t have a broil setting, raise the heat.)
- When it’s done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
