A delightful seafood casserole combining creamy Alfredo sauce with tender pasta and fresh vegetables, baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Slice the zucchini and dice the mushrooms and onion.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Alfredo sauce, cooked pasta, imitation crab, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with melted butter. Remove the foil from the casserole, sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Creamy Seafood Alfredo Casserole!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
