Fresh Crab Lasagna Roll-Ups with Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Cook the noodles:

Boil lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment or a greased surface to cool.

Make the filling:

In a large bowl, gently mix crab meat, ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, egg, garlic, lemon juice, green onions, salt, pepper, and optional seasoning.

Make the sauce:

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.

Slowly whisk in milk or half-and-half. Simmer until thickened.

Stir in Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.

Assemble the roll-ups:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spread a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom of a greased 9×13” baking dish.

Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling on each lasagna noodle and roll tightly.

Arrange seam-side down in the dish.

Top and bake:

Pour remaining sauce over roll-ups.

Mix panko with melted butter and sprinkle over the top.

Add shredded mozzarella for extra gooeyness.

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

Garnish and serve:

Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve with a lemon wedge if desired.
