Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. This recipe should make 3 layers. In a bowl, mix together ricotta, Parmesan, shredded provolone, eggs, basil and black pepper. Spray the bottom of a lasagne pan with a cooking spray. Add a layer of noodles. Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture to cover noodle layer and top with a layer of shrimp, crabmeat and scallops. Repeat steps again, ending with a layer of noodles until you have completed the process 3 times. Arrange provolone cheese slices on top of lasagna. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until golden brown and bubbly.
To serve, cut into portions and place lasagna on a plate. Generously spoon Brandied-Basil Cream Sauce over the top and garnish with fresh basil.
NOTES : Chef's Note: This lasagna recipe is also good with a marinara sauce accompanying the Brandied-Basil Cream Sauce. This recipe can be converted easily for fewer portions. This lasagna does not freeze well because the cheese mixture has a tendency to break down.
