Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir and let bloom for a minute. Pour in the white wine; simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until reduced by half.
  4. Add heavy cream to the skillet, stirring continuously. Allow to gently simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Fold in lobster and shrimp, cooking for an additional 3 minutes just to warm through without overcooking.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a deep-dish lasagna pan to prevent sticking.
  7. Begin layering with cooked lasagna noodles at the base of the pan. Add a layer of the seafood mixture and dollops of ricotta, sprinkle mozzarella. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used, finishing with the seafood mixture.
  8. Top the last seafood layer with the remaining mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. After 25 minutes, remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  10. Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing for easy serving.
  11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm, enjoying with a salad or garlic bread.
