NEW FAMILY NO-BOIL LASAGNA

• Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown the sausage and beef together in a large sauce pan.
• Add tomatoes (including their juice), marinara, seasoning, and pepper. Use the water to rinse your marinara jar and then add it to the pot. The extra liquid will help the no-boil noodles cook thoroughly.

• Let the sauce simmer while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix the ricotta, basil, eggs, pepper, salt and Parmesan in a bowl. Set aside.

• Next layer 1/4 of the ricotta mixture in each pan.
• Lay about 1/6 of the mozzarella over the ricotta in each pan.

Steps:

• For the seafood: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and seafood seasoning and cook until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet.
• Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shrimp and crabmeat.
• Make the béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until combined. Gradually add the milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Romano until melted. Set aside.
• Make the spinach-artichoke ricotta: Stir together the ricotta, spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and egg until combined. Season with salt. Fold in 1 cup of the béchamel sauce.
