Tips:
- Use fresh seafood. Fresh seafood will give your lasagna the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, you can use frozen seafood that has been thawed and drained.
- Cook the seafood properly. Seafood should be cooked until it is opaque and flaky. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. Lasagna should be cooked until it is heated through and the cheese is melted. Overcooked lasagna will be dry and tough.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
