Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place bacon in a 5-quart casserole. Cover loosely with paper toweling. Cook at 100 percent power for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and uncover.

  2. Step 2

    Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to paper toweling to drain; set aside. Pour off most of the fat from casserole, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind. Add oil and paprika and stir to make a paste. Mound in the center of casserole. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from oven. Add onion and garlic and toss to coat. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes 30 seconds. Stir in wine, 1 ½ cups of the fish broth and lasagna pieces. Cover securely with microwave plastic wrap or with a tightly fitting lid and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    If using plastic, prick plastic to release steam. Remove from oven and uncover. Arrange clams, hinge-end down around the inside edge of the dish. Re-cover and cook for 5 minutes or until clams open. Prick plastic to release steam.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven and uncover. Stir in tomato puree and arrange mussels, hinge-end down, in the center of the dish. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until mussels open.

  6. Step 6

    If using plastic, prick to release steam. Remove from oven and uncover. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and cook for 4 minutes or until squid is opaque. Remove from oven and uncover. Stir in bacon pieces and serve.
