Crab Lasagne Recipes

CRAB LASAGNE

Steps:

• Tip the milk, nutmeg, 50g of the butter and the flour into a non-stick pan. Heat while whisking or stirring until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream with plenty of seasoning. Measure 450ml of the sauce and beat half the Parmesan and the egg into it. Once cool, stir the crabmeat into the remaining sauce.
• Melt the remaining butter in a very large pan or wok, add the leeks and cook for about 10 mins, stirring frequently, until softened and cooked down.
• Lightly grease 2 x 20cm square ovenproof dishes - trim the lasagne sheets to fit, if you need to.
• Spoon a quarter of the leeks into each dish and spread out. Top each with 2 lasagne sheets, then cover with the crab mixture and scatter over the chunks of fish. Top each with another 2 sheets, then cover with the leeks and the last of the sheets followed by the cheese sauce, then the remaining Parmesan.
• To freeze: Wrap the dishes in several layers of cling film, then foil. Use within 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unwrap the lasagnes and bake for 40 mins. (A freshly made version will take the same time.) Serve with a salad.

LASAGNE WITH SHRIMP AND CRAB MEAT RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil and saute the onion, garlic, parsley, and celery until the onion is light golden. Add the crab meat and shrimp and let simmer over a low flame until cooked through, mixing well. Pour seafood mixture into the marinara sauce in a separate pot (amount of sauce should be so that each spoonful includes seafood). Add sherry and pepper and stir well. Cover and let simmer over a low flame for 10 minutes. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water to which oil has been added to prevent sticking. Cook until very al dente. Drain pasta and place it on a large cloth to dry, each piece placed separately. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a buttered baking dish, lay out a bottom layer of lasagne. Spoon over this some of the seafood sauce. Next, another layer of pasta, with some bechamel sauce spooned on top. Then repeat: pasta, seafood sauce, pasta, bechamel sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.
