While traditional Italian lasagna is layered, American home cooks have re‑imagined it as rolled pasta dishes, often called "lasagna rolls" or "rolled lasagna." Adding seafood reflects coastal Italian influences and modern fusion trends, turning a classic comfort food into a celebratory, indulgent entrée.

In Italy, rolled pasta (cannelloni) is typically filled with ricotta‑spinach or meat ragù. The Sinful Seafood Lasagna Rolls replace meat with shrimp and lobster and use a creamy garlic‑spinach sauce, creating a richer, ocean‑inspired twist that isn’t found in classic regional recipes.

It is usually served as a main course for dinner, often accompanied by a simple green salad, crusty bread, and a glass of white wine. The rolls are sliced into bite‑size portions and garnished with fresh parsley for color.

Because of its luxurious seafood filling, this dish is popular for holiday meals, birthday celebrations, or special dinner parties where a show‑stopping, yet comforting, pasta dish is desired.

Traditional rolls use ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a meat ragù or spinach filling. In this recipe, shrimp, lobster, and a garlic‑spinach cream sauce replace the meat ragù, while the cheese blend stays authentic. Substitutes like crab or scallops can replace lobster if desired.

Common errors include overcooking the seafood, under‑cooking the lasagna sheets, rolling the noodles too loosely, and adding the cornstarch slurry too quickly, which can cause lumps. Follow the critical steps and keep the rolls tight for the best result.

Olive oil prevents the butter‑cream separation that can occur when butter is heated with heavy cream. It also adds a subtle fruity note that complements the garlic, spinach, and seafood without overpowering the dish.

Yes. Assemble the rolls, cover them with sauce, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Bake directly from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. Leftovers keep for 3 days refrigerated.

The sauce should be glossy, slightly thickened, and coat the back of a spoon without running off. It will have a pale ivory color from the cream and a hint of green from the spinach.

The cheese on top should be melted, lightly golden, and bubbling. Insert a knife into the center of a roll; it should meet little resistance and the interior should be hot throughout.
