Mix 250 g of all-purpose flour with 50 g of durum wheat flour in a bowl.

Crack 3 fresh eggs and 1 shop-bought egg into the flour mixture.

Let the dough rest after mixing.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add 2 crushed garlic cloves and parsley.

Add the clams to the pan, cover it, and let them steam open.

Prep the prawns by removing their heads and shells and cutting them up with scissors.

Clean the squid by removing the head, tentacles, and cartilage, then chop it finely.

Stir the clams and add a spoonful of parsley and garlic from the freezer.

Remove the clams from their shells and keep their liquor for the sauce.

Roll out the rested dough to a thickness of about 2 mm.

Dice two shots of a vegetable (not specified) on a small cutting board.

Add oil to a pan and fry half a garlic clove until fragrant, then remove it.

Pour in white wine to reduce before adding the seafood.

Add the squid, prawns, and clams with their liquid to the pan.

Spoon in some tomato sauce that has been simmered for 30 minutes along with olive oil and garlic.

Make a white sauce by heating 1 liter of full-fat milk in a pot.

Melt 40 g of butter and mix in 50 g of flour, then gradually add the hot milk to create a smooth sauce, finishing with nutmeg.

Cut the pasta into oblongs that fit the baking dish.

Boil salted water and cook the pasta oblongs for 2 minutes, then dunk them in cold water to stop further cooking.

Dry the pasta under a dishcloth.

Assemble the lasagna by placing a little sauce on the base of the dish to prevent sticking, then layer with pasta, white sauce, and seafood sauce.

Create five more layers, ensuring the seafood flavor is prominent in the dish.

Place the assembled lasagna in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving.
