Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
If using regular noodles, cook them until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
Whisk in flour to create a roux and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in milk and cream. Simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, and a pinch of salt.
Lightly sauté shrimp and scallops in a bit of oil just until partially cooked. Set aside with crab meat.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of sauce in the baking dish. Layer noodles, ricotta mixture, seafood, mozzarella, and sauce. Repeat layers, ending with sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes, until top is golden and bubbly.
Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.

A splash of white wine or lemon juice adds brightness to the sauce.

Crushed red pepper flakes bring a spicy kick.

Use Gruyère or Fontina cheese for a richer flavor.

Make ahead and refrigerate overnight—add 5–10 minutes to baking time.
