Instructions

1. Cook Lasagna Noodles

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente (about 8 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water, then lay flat on a kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: boiling

2. Sauté Shrimp

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the diced shrimp and sauté until pink, about 3 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑high

3. Add Garlic and Spinach

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the squeezed spinach and cook, stirring, until excess moisture evaporates, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium

4. Combine Seafood and Sauce

   Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the crab meat, 1.5 cups vodka sauce, and 2 tbsp water. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.

   Time: PT2M

5. Simmer Filling

   Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 10‑15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and most of the water evaporates.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: low

6. Cool Filling

   Turn off the heat and transfer the filling to a mixing bowl. Let it cool to near room temperature (5‑10 minutes) before assembling.

   Time: PT10M

7. Preheat Oven

   While the filling cools, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

8. Assemble Rollups – Base Sauce

   Spread a thin layer of vodka sauce on the bottom of the baking dish (about 2‑3 tbsp) to prevent sticking.

   Time: PT2M

9. Fill and Roll Noodles

   Lay a cooked lasagna noodle flat, spread a generous spoonful of the seafood filling along the center, then sprinkle 2‑3 tbsp shredded mozzarella. Roll the noodle tightly, tucking the ends slightly. Repeat for all noodles.

   Time: PT10M

10. Arrange Rollups in Dish

    Place the rolled noodles seam‑side down in the baking dish. Spoon additional vodka sauce over each rollup, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

    Time: PT5M

11. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25‑30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

    Time: PT30M

    Temperature: 350°F
