WHITE SAUCE SHRIMP-SPINACH LASAGNE
Well, it's "lasagne" made with linguine *.* It's also sort of a pain to make as it requires some multi-tasking, several steps, but if one follows the instructions it's fairly easy to prepare. In any case, it's delicious enough to be well-worth the effort. I developed this recipe mainly as an elegant entree for dinner parties but it also doubles nicely as a high-end covered dish. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Have the cooked pasta ready for use. Pre-heat the oven to 375-degrees F.
- In a large no-stick skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter and add in the olive oil along with the chopped garlic. Pour about 2/3 of this blend into a bowl and set aside. Continuing to carefully stir over the medium heat, add in the onion, mushrooms and minced jalapeno and allow the mix to tenderize, (about 6 minutes).
- Remove the vegetable blend from the skillet, re-add the reserved melted butter blend and add in the shrimp. Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning over the shrimp. Sautee over medium heat for 6 minutes, stirring ocassionally. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. (You can discard the butter blend or save it for use in another dish).
- Set up a double boiler with 3 cups of water in the bottom section over high heat. In the top (dry) section, melt the 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter and add in the pre-warmed milk. As it begins to yield a little steam, whisk in the white pepper and the minced garlic. When it comes to a boil, whisk in the flour and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens. Allow the blend to continue at a low boil (adjust temperature if necessary), whisking with great frequency, for 15 minutes. If it gets too thick, add more pre-warmed milk, 1/4 cup at a time until desired consistency is achieved. (You want it about as thick as pancake batter.) At the end of the 15 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.
- Spray a 9" x 13", or larger, casserole dish with the cooking spray. Lay in 1/3 of the white sauce and make sure that most of the bottom is covered. Then, lay in just a little more than half of the pasta, (about 60%). Cover the pasta with all the cottage cheese. Next, spread the spinach all over the top.
- Layer the remaining pasta evenly across the top. Next, evenly distribute the remaining white sauce all over the pasta. Lay the cooked shrimp evenly across the white sauce and then distribute the onion-mushroom-jalapeno mix across the dish. Top this with all the Monterey Jack Cheese and the Asiago chees, and then finish by sprinkling the dried parsley across the top, just as a sort of garnish.
- In the oven, pre-heated to 375-degrees F., place the dish on the middle rack, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes. At the end of the 30 minutes, change the setting to BROIL, move the rack up to one below the top one, and broil the dish just until there is some light browning across the top (about 2-3 minutes). WATCH THIS CAREFULLY as it will burn quickly! Remove from oven when the top is lightly browned.
- Allow the dish to "rest" for about 10 minutes prior to cutting into serving sizes. Serve with hot, fresh garlic bread, buttered Parker House Rolls, or with Texas Toast.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP LASAGNA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 10-inch aluminum foil pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles until they are just done, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet and cook the onion over low heat until very soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more. Over medium-low heat, stir in the flour with a whisk, then gradually add the half-and-half, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly before adding more. When the sauce has thickened to about the consistency of whipping cream, add the cheese and stir well. Add the salt and pepper and stir again. Add the scallops and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or just until the shrimp turn pink. Turn off the heat.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the skillet into the prepared pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with 4 noodles, placing them side by side. Spoon 1/3 of the sauce over the noodles, distributing half of the seafood evenly. Layer 4 more noodles, 1/3 of the sauce, and remaining seafood. Cover with the last 4 noodles and the remaining sauce. (For the top layer, do not spoon any seafood on top of the noodles; just use the sauce.) Tuck in any edges of the noodles so they're all coated with sauce. Top with the Parmesan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, uncovered, until bubbly. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
