Ingredients:
1 pound crawfish tails
1 box lasagna noodles
2 cups Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Noodles:
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Crawfish:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and bell peppers, cooking until softened. Stir in the crawfish tails, Cajun seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the Lasagna:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, a portion of the sautéed crawfish, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of Alfredo sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake the Lasagna:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, spicy flavors of this unique Crawfish Alfredo Lasagna!
