1/4 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/3 cup dry sherry or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 packages (8 oz each) frozen salad-style imitation crabmeat, thawed, drained and chopped
2 packages (4 oz each) frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed, drained
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (12 oz)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, if desired
1.) Heat oven to 350°F. Cook noodles as directed on package.
2.) Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is crisp-tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir until bubbly. Gradually stir in half-and-half, broth, sherry, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
3.) In medium bowl, mix egg, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup parsley; set aside.
4.) Drain noodles. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, spread 3/4 cup of the sauce. Top with 3 noodles. Spread half of the crabmeat and half of the shrimp over noodles; spread with 3/4 cup of the sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese; top with 3 noodles. Spread ricotta mixture over noodles; spread with 3/4 cup of the sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese; top with 3 noodles. Spread with remaining crabmeat, shrimp and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
5.) Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until cheese is light golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.
Make it extra special by using refrigerated or frozen (thawed) real crabmeat in place of the imitation.
Can't find ricotta cheese? Use dry-curd cottage cheese instead.
Very good recipe but very expensive especially if you use real crab meat which will make it more tasty. But this is definitely best for special ... see more
