Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Rolls
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Sauce
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the lasagna rolls.
- Cook Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain them well and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful filling.
- Assemble Rolls: Lay out one cooked lasagna noodle flatten. Spread a generous scoop of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly along the length of the noodle. Carefully roll up the noodle tightly and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process with all noodles and filling.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the rolled noodles in the baking dish. Then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top to add a golden, cheesy crust once baked.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. This allows the rolls to heat through and the flavors to meld.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned, adding a delicious texture and flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the finished lasagna rolls with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Be sure to cook noodles al dente to prevent them from becoming too soft during baking.
- You can use store-bought Alfredo sauce or homemade for a richer flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for an easy meal.
- For a lighter version, use part-skim cheeses and reduced-fat Alfredo sauce.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice visual touch and mild flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
