Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 cup grated Romano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 pound sea scallops, cut in half or quartered if very large
  • 3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 10-inch aluminum foil pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles until they are just done, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet and cook the onion over low heat until very soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more. Over medium-low heat, stir in the flour with a whisk, then gradually add the half-and-half, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly before adding more. When the sauce has thickened to about the consistency of whipping cream, add the cheese and stir well. Add the salt and pepper and stir again. Add the scallops and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or just until the shrimp turn pink. Turn off the heat.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the skillet into the prepared pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with 4 noodles, placing them side by side. Spoon 1/3 of the sauce over the noodles, distributing half of the seafood evenly. Layer 4 more noodles, 1/3 of the sauce, and remaining seafood. Cover with the last 4 noodles and the remaining sauce. (For the top layer, do not spoon any seafood on top of the noodles; just use the sauce.) Tuck in any edges of the noodles so they're all coated with sauce. Top with the Parmesan.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, uncovered, until bubbly. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

    I am really shocked at all great reviews of this recipe. It was terrible, just awful! No flavor, disgusting! I don't think there are any tweaks that could redeem this recipe. Huge waste of food. I am so disappointed.

    OMGoodness!!!!!!!!! This was a HUGE success with my family!!! I received the ultimate rating of scrup-a-dilous from my daughter. I took the advice from one review and used pepperjack, cheddar, romano and mozzarella cheese. I used about a cup and a half of each cheese. I bought a quart of half and half and used all of it except 1/4 cup. I used shrimp, scallops and real crab meat. It came out perfect. It wasn't soupy at all. My family wanted more. Too bad I only made one pan. Next time I will definitely make two pans.

    I made extra sauce as suggested and it was a bit soupy in the pan. I added Old Bay (every seafood dish is better with Old Bay in my opinion! and used another reviewers' suggestion to use some milk instead of all half and half to cut down on calories but that might have caused the soupiness. I have a feeling it will be better tomorrow. . maybe I'll be more organized next time and make it a day ahead.
