Seafood Lasagna

This is another family recipe I am sharing this week. I remember when I was growing up my mother and grandmother would get together, drink wine and make this lasagna. We ate it alot when I was younger but it had been years since I had this lasagna again until Sterling was born. After he was born my mom made us this lasagna and I was like why I have not been making this all these years!! It is so rich and creamy and amazing! We made it a few weeks ago for dinner club and it was a huge hit. Like any lasagna it takes a little time to assemble but it is so worth it. It makes a huge batch so you could make one huge lasagna or two smaller ones and freeze one to save.

Confession- this picture is not the actual lasagna I made (although I am sure you already knew that since the quality of the picture is way better than what my camera produces). It is a random seafood lasagna picture but you get the idea of what it should look like. I forgot to take a picture when I made this for dinner club. But picture or not I promise you are going to love this lasagna! It is filled with seafood and so tasty!
