- 2 cups ricotta cheese Creamy base for filling
- 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Used for topping and filling

Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, mixed seafood, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Take a lasagna noodle, place a generous spoonful of the filling on one end, and roll it up tightly. Place the roll seam-side down in the dish. Repeat for all noodles.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the rolled-up lasagna noodles and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top.
Baking
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh herbs for an added touch.
Notes
Choose fresh seafood for best flavor. Customize with veggies like spinach or zucchini for added nutrition. Make ahead and store in the fridge before baking, adding extra time if cold.
