Instructions
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until mostly pink; remove and set aside. Cook scallops briefly until halfway done; set aside with shrimp.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in white grape juice and lemon juice; scrape the pan's bottom. Stir in crabmeat along with cooked shrimp and scallops.
- For the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour to create a roux; gradually whisk in milk until thickened. Add mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and nutmeg.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and spinach.

- Repeat layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, seafood mixture; finish with remaining noodles topped with remaining cheese sauce.
