3) Start cooking the celery amd the chopped onions in hot oil, and add the langoustine tails, make them stiff over high heat. Moisten with the juice from the mussels and cockles, give broth and remove them with the skimmer.

4) Add the cooking juices in the tomatoes (peeled, seeded and chopped), crushed garlic, bouquet garni, paprika. Simmer over low heat until the sauce is smooth.

5) Then add the cream, half the parmesan, boil 3 to 4 minutes, mixing constantly with a whisk, season and spice up the seasoning with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Put mussels, clams and scampi in the sauce and keep warm.

6) Arrange the individual lasagna stack portions on each guest's plate, by first pouring a layer of sauce, then some noodles, then more sauce, etc... when you reach the top layer, pour more seafood tomato sauce over, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve very hot...
