Ingredients
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
Sauce and Garnish
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the lasagna rolls.
- Cook Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain them carefully and set aside to cool slightly, so they are easier to handle.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly to create a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Assemble Rolls: Lay out one cooked lasagna noodle flat. Spread a generous scoop of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly along the length of the noodle. Carefully roll the noodle up tightly and place it seam side down in a prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining 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 on top to create a cheesy crust when baked.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned, indicating the rolls are heated through and deliciously melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving hot.
Notes
- For easier rolling, allow the noodles to cool slightly before spreading the filling.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated options.
- Alfredo sauce can be homemade or store-bought based on your preference and time constraints.
- Feel free to add chopped spinach or mushrooms to the filling for added veggies.
- Leftovers keep well and can be reheated covered in the oven or microwave.
