1/4 tsp salt
3/4 pound (340 g) bay scallops
3/4 pound (340 g) lump crab meat, chopped or bite sized pieces

1.Prepare lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain again. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese and egg. Set aside.
4. To make sauce, melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic. Cook one minute.
5. Whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Add to garlic in pot. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir using a whisk. Cook until mixture is bubbly and has thickened about 7 or 8 minutes.
6.Stir in bullion powder, dry mustard, pepper and salt. Add scallops. Cook until scallops are opaque about 5 minutes. Stir in crab meat, 1/2 cup of cheese, parsley, snow peas and red pepper. Cook for 1 more minute until cheese is completely melted. Remove sauce from heat.
7. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. To assemble lasagna, cover bottom of baking dish with 3 noodles. Pour 1/3 sauce over top. Layer 3 more noodles over sauce. Spread all of the ricotta-parmesan mixture over noodles, followed by 1/3 of the sauce. Top with 3 more noodles, remaining sauce and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of cheese over top.
8. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
This is from the Looneyspoons Collection, originally called "Anchors A-weigh Seafood Lasagna". I have made it as the recipe calls and again when I had some left over lobster to use. I replaced the scallops with the lobster and kept the crab meat as called for. It is very rich, one piece goes a long way. I am sure you could use any variation of seafood that you like in this recipe.
