  • To a new saucepan, add 4 tbsp of butter and allow it to melt on medium heat. 
  • Once butter is melted, add flour slowly and whisk until a light blond roux is formed. 
  • Whisk roux for 2 minutes until flour is dissolved. 
  • Slowly add milk to the roux while constantly mixing. 
  • Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thick. About 2-3 minutes. 
  • Turn off heat and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. 

  • For ricotta
  • To a bowl, add ricotta cheese and egg with a pinch of salt and pepper. 
  • Mix until egg is dissolved into the ricotta cheese. 
  • To build lasagna
  • In the original deep oven-safe skillet, add a thin layer of Béchamel sauce and spread evenly on the bottom of the pan. 
  • Add enough lasagna noodles to cover the bottom of the pan. 
  • Add another layer of bechamel sauce, spinach and onion mixture, seafood blend, ricotta, and top with cheese.
  • Repeat this layering until the top layer.
  • The final layer is the seafood blend and cheese. 
  • Top with old bay and fresh chives. 
  • Bake at 400 degrees uncovered for 35-40 minutes until top is golden brown and edges are bubbly. 
  • Allow the lasagna to sit for 10 minutes before serving. 
  • Garnish with fresh chives and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to use any blend of seafood to your liking.
For a less decadent lasagna, you can use less cheese and omit the ricotta cheese.
