I found this recipe years ago and simply LOVE it! As lasagnas go, this is pretty easy and also a bit unusual. Like most lasagnas, this is at least as good the second day it's served.
I remember the first time I made this, I wondered about the basil - it seemed strange to me to add it, but I did anyway - it is a must - don't skip it. Please let me know if you like this as much as I do!

How to Make Seafood Lasagna
- 1. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water until done according to package directions. Rinse and drain noodles. Set aside.
- 2. Melt butter or margarine in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add cream cheese, cottage cheese*, egg, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir and heat gently until smooth. Set aside.
- 3. Check crab meat carefully for cartilage and shell - remove any that you find.
- 4. In a medium bowl combine soup, milk, and wine. Stir in crab, shrimp, and mushrooms.
