Spaghetti Lasagna Florentine with Crab

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2 . Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, stir in butter, and set aside.

3 . Stage

Combine marinara sauce, spinach, onion, mushrooms, tomato paste, garlic, cayenne, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the cheese mixture.

4 . Stage

Combine lump crab, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1 cup Parmesan-Romano cheese, eggs, and clam juice together in a large mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly together.

5 . Stage

Spoon a light layer of sauce into the bottom of the prepared pan. Add a layer of spaghetti, followed by a layer of cheese mixture. Repeat until ingredients have all been added, making sure sauce makes up the top layer. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

6 . Stage

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until crab is pink and cheese is melted, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve.
