This Lemon Basil Ricotta Swirl Shrimp Scampi Lasagna elevates a classic Italian dish with succulent shrimp, bright lemon, and fragrant basil. Layers of pasta, creamy ricotta, and a luscious béchamel sauce create a comforting yet sophisticated meal.

- 250 g (9 oz) Ricotta Cheese: provides a creamy base
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Chopped Fresh Basil Leaves: key to the aromatic flavor
- 150 g (5 oz) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: provides cheesy stretch
- 50 g (1.8 oz) Grated Parmesan Cheese: adds salty, umami flavor
- 2 tbsp (30 g) All-Purpose Flour: thickens the béchamel sauce
- 500 ml (2 cups) Whole Milk: creates a rich béchamel sauce
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Salt, Plus to Taste: enhances flavors
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) Black Pepper: adds subtle spice
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Toasted Pine Nuts: provides crunch and nutty flavor
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Unsalted Butter (for Drizzle): for final garlic-lemon butter drizzle
- 1 Clove Garlic, Minced (for Drizzle): adds final burst of garlic flavor
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice (for Drizzle): completes the bright drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare Shrimp Scampi: Sauté garlic in butter and oil, add shrimp, cook until pink, then stir in lemon zest and juice.
- Craft Béchamel Sauce: Melt butter, whisk in flour, gradually add milk, and simmer until thickened.
- Whip Ricotta Swirl: Combine ricotta, lemon zest, basil, and seasoning.
- Assemble Lasagna: Layer béchamel, noodles, shrimp, mozzarella, and ricotta, swirling the ricotta.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat layering process with remaining ingredients.
- Bake: Top with noodles, béchamel, and Parmesan; bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare Drizzle: Melt butter, sauté garlic, and stir in lemon juice.
- Rest & Serve: Let rest, drizzle with garlic-lemon butter, garnish with pine nuts and basil.
Notes
For a faster prep, use no-boil lasagna noodles. Don’t overcook the shrimp to maintain tenderness. Swirling the ricotta creates pockets of flavor.
