Ingredients
Pasta
- 8 cooked lasagna noodles
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Topping
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Noodles and Filling: Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean working surface. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup of Alfredo sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Evenly spread about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each noodle, then carefully roll each noodle tightly from one end to the other to encase the filling.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place each roll up seam-side down in the prepared baking dish to keep them closed during baking and maintain their shape.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll ups. Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to create a bubbly, golden crust when baked.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese topping turns golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve and Garnish: Let the roll ups cool slightly before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm, ideally paired with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient option.
- Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Pairs wonderfully with a fresh side salad or garlic bread to complement the creamy pasta.
