There are so many variations of lasagna and every single one has it’s special spotlight. This particular recipe deserves it’s spotlight today, it has earned it! It’s creamy, it has seafood, and it’s topped with fennel pollen. Those are some of the best pairings I could imagine together in one dish. I have to say this is a perfect “warm your soul” food for a family dinner around the table on a cold night.
