2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup butter or margarine, divided

1/2 cup chicken broth

In a large skillet, saute onion in oil and 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in broth and clam juice; bring to a boil. Add the scallops, shrimp, crab and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; return to a boil.

Spread 1/2 cup white sauce in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Top with three noodles; spread with half of the seafood mixture and 1-1/4 cups sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.
