  • For the Alfredo Sauce:
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
    • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Instructions

    1. Prepare the Noodles

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
    2. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    2. Make the Filling

    1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, spinach (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    3. Make the Alfredo Sauce

    1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
    2. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
    3. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Season with nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

    4. Assemble the Lasagna Rolls

    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    2. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
    3. Spread a few tablespoons of the chicken filling over each lasagna noodle and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared dish.

    5. Bake

    1. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the lasagna rolls, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle additional mozzarella on top.
    2. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    6. Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread.
