Lasagna Rolls
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Prepare the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water until they are al dente. Drain them carefully and lay the noodles flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking and prepare them for rolling.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking. Take one lasagna noodle and spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken and cheese filling evenly over the noodle. Roll up the noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top for a golden, bubbly finish.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the rolls moist, and bake for 25 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm for a delicious and comforting meal.
Notes
- Use no-boil lasagna noodles if you want to skip the boiling step, but increase baking time slightly.
- Leftover cooked chicken from a previous meal works perfectly in this recipe.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat ricotta and mozzarella cheeses.
- Fresh garlic can be substituted for garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.
- Let the dish rest a few minutes after baking to allow it to set and make slicing easier.
