Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, toss in the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until aromas are released. Pour in white wine, letting it simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
  3. Pour heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Fold in the cooked lobster and shrimp into the creamy sauce. Stir gently for about 2 minutes until heated through.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Butter the bottom and sides of a baking dish. Layer cooked lasagna noodles at the bottom, ensuring they cover the base.
  7. Spread half of the seafood mixture over the noodles, then dollop ricotta cheese and top with shredded mozzarella.
  8. Repeat the layering with another layer of noodles, remaining seafood mixture, ricotta, and more mozzarella.
  9. Top the lasagna with grated Parmesan cheese. Cover the dish with foil for the first part of baking.
  10. Bake covered for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  11. Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  12. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top and serve warm.
