Seafood Lasagna
The recipe Seafood Lasagn A mixture of onion, shrimp, milk, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious.

It is a good option if you're following a pescatarian diet.
Instructions
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
Place a large saucepan over medium heat; add flour to pan. Gradually add milk to pan, stirring constantly with a whisk until smooth; cook 1 minute. Stir in butter, thyme, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly.
Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 1/4 cups Parmigiano and nutmeg. Set cheese sauce aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add onion; saut 4 minutes.
Add garlic; saut for 1 minute.
Add cream cheese; stir until cheese melts. Stir in half-and-half, 1/4 cup parsley, shrimp, and scallops.
Combine eggs and ricotta in a food processor; process until smooth. Stir ricotta mixture into seafood mixture.
Spoon 1 cup cheese sauce into bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 4 noodles over sauce; top with half of ricotta mixture. Repeat layers with 4 noodles, remaining half of ricotta mixture, and remaining 4 noodles.
Pour remaining cheese sauce over noodles; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup Parmigiano.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until lightly browned.
Sprinkle lasagna with remaining 1/4 cup parsley.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Wine note: The rich, mellow flavor and creamy, mouth-filling texture of this seafood lasagna demands a white wine that's soft and full on the palate. Chardonnay is a great answer-especially a luscious, full-bodied Italian version like Antinori's Cervaro della Sala 2003 from Umbria ($45). -Karen MacNeil
