Ingredients
  

  • Oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 250 g seafood fresh or frozen (such as shrimp, calamari or scallops)
  • 100 white wine
  • Fresh spinach or defrosted frozen spinach
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 400 g white fish fresh or defrosted (such as tilapia or sole)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Salt pepper
  • Flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 200 g lasagna noodles
  • 100 g Parmesan

Béchamel:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 400 ml of milk
  • Salt
  • Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • To make the béchamel, melt the butter in a pan and add the flour. Keep whisking for about a minute. Start adding the milk while whisking making sure there are no lumps. Cook the sauce for about 20 minutes until it thickens. Add salt and nutmeg.
  • Add oil to a pan and sauté the onion over medium high heat. Add the seafood, garlic, wine and cook for a few minutes. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted.
  • Cook the lasagna according to the package instructions, unless it’s no-cook pasta.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper, dust with flour and drizzle with lemon juice. Roast it in a pan just until cooked through and break into chunks. Reserve 4 spoonfuls of the béchamel and pour the rest of it over the fish.
  • Lightly oil a baking dish. Pour the reserved béchamel in the bottom. Start with a layer of lasagna, followed by half of the seafood, then another layer of lasagna, finishing with a half of the fish and half of the Parmesan. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients and sprinkle the Parmesan on top. Bake for about 40 minutes.

Notes

*I like to lay lasagna noodles in a sheet pan and pour boiling water over them. In about 5 minutes, they become soft and pliable.
