  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add shredded chicken and shrimp to the skillet, along with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and fully cooked.
  5. Combine marinara and Alfredo sauces in a bowl and mix well.
Layering
  1. Start layering: In a baking dish, spread a layer of sauce mixture on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the chicken and shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  2. Repeat layers: Add another layer of sauce, followed by 3 noodles, the remaining chicken and shrimp, and again sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  3. Finish with a final layer: Spread the remaining noodles on top and pour the leftover sauce over it. Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Baking
  1. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  2. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Substitutions for shrimp include more chicken or vegetarian options like grilled vegetables. Prepare sauces and chicken ahead for convenience. Avoid overcooking noodles; al dente works best. Allow the lasagna to rest to set before slicing.
