# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.

04 - Heat olive oil in a skillet. Once hot, add seafood mix, salt, pepper, and parsley. Cook for 3 minutes.
05 - Place a layer of bechamel sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add lasagna sheets over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the sheets, followed by 1/3 of the seafood mix, and 1/3 of the bechamel sauce. Repeat the layers and finish with grated mozzarella and parmesan on top.
06 - Bake the lasagna at 180C/350F for 35 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover with tin foil and continue baking until the cheese is fully melted.
07 - Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for several minutes before slicing and serving.
