Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, thyme, and 3 garlic cloves; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in crabmeat and shrimp. Set aside.
Combine goat cheese, cottage cheese, basil, juice,1 garlic clove, and spinach; set aside.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Place flour in a small saucepan; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk. Stir in clam juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan cheese.
Spread ½ cup sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 4 noodles, slightly overlapping, over sauce; top with one-third goat cheese mixture, one-third crab mixture, ⅔ cup sauce, and ⅔ cup mozzarella. Repeat layers twice, ending with mozzarella. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until golden. Let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
