Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions, draining them 1-2 minutes before the recommended time to avoid overcooking. Set aside.
While the ravioli cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the seafood is opaque and just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, stirring continuously.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring the mixture remains smooth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Gently combine the cooked seafood mixture with the cheese sauce.
Layer the cooked ravioli in the prepared baking dish. Pour the seafood and cheese sauce evenly over the ravioli, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Sprinkle the remaining Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
