Cottage Cheese Seafood Lasagna

Mmmm...creamy seafood lasagna with a rich white sauce. I sometimes add broccoli just to give some color (and sneak in those "Five A Day"). I think spinach or zucchini would also be a wonderful addition. YUMMY!!

Used fresh shrimp, tilapia & crab that I cut up into small pieces and gently boiled for a short time with seafood spices in the water. Did not use the cottage cheese (my family preference) and crumbled the seafood on each layer. Turned out wonderfully and will definitely make again for a special occasion.2Reply

This is heaven in a dish! I used half cottage cheese and half ricotta, adding an egg, salt and freshly ground pepper, and parsley, then mixed together in my blender and poured in layers between the noodles. When baked it firmed up and was a delicious layer in with the seafood layers and cream sauce. We all LOVED this and it is now on my list to be made again for my niece's graduation party! Thanks Manda for this one!3Reply
