Recipe of the Day!

Today's recipe of the day is.... Seafood Lasagna!

This dish requires some preparation, but it tastes wonderful and is a bit healthier than yesterday's  cinnamon rolls. :)

You will need:

1 package (16 ounces) uncooked lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese cut into 1/2 inch pieces, softened
1 1/2 cups cream style cottage cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 cans (10 3/4 ounces each) cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/3 cup milk
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound bay scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 pound flounder fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 pound medium raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain. Set aside.
2. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Stir in cream cheese, cottage cheese, egg, basil, salt and pepper; mix well. Set aside.
3. Combine soup, milk, and garlic in a large bowl until well blended. Stir in scallops, flounder, shrimp, and wine.
4. Preheat oven to 350 deg Fahrenheit. Generously grease 9"x13" baking pan or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
5. Place layer of lasagna oodles in prepared pan, overlapping edges. Spread half of cheese mixture over noodles. Place layer of noodles over cheese mixture and top with half of seafood mixture. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
6. Bake 45 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

This dish requires a lengthy list of ingredients and a good amount of prep time but is definitely worth it. I really hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends do!
