Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna & Sauce
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until they are al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Drain the noodles and carefully lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking and to cool.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to create a homogeneous creamy filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking. Take each lasagna noodle and spread about 1/4 cup of the filling evenly along its length. Roll the noodle tightly and place each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the arranged rolls in the baking dish, then sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to create a golden crust when baked.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the lasagna rolls cool slightly for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving warm.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days to keep fresh.
- You can freeze the unbaked lasagna rolls wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap for up to 3 months; bake from frozen by adding extra time.
- Make sure not to overcook the noodles initially to prevent them from breaking when rolling.
- Use good-quality Alfredo sauce for the best flavor or make your own homemade sauce if preferred.
