Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 1 lb fresh lump crab meat (drained and picked over for shells)
  • 1½ cups ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of Old Bay seasoning or cayenne for a subtle kick

For the sauce:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

    • For the pasta and topping:

    • 8–10 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
    • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
    • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
    • 1 tbsp butter, melted
    • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Boil lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment or a greased surface to cool.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Garnish and serve: Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve with a lemon wedge if desired.
