How to Make Creamy Seafood Gratin Pasta Bake
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz of your chosen pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, pour in 2 cups of heavy cream. Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, melting until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the cooked pasta and 12 oz of mixed raw seafood into the creamy sauce. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Pour the creamy seafood mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
