Lasagna Rolls
- 12 lasagna noodles
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (reserved from the 2 cups total)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (remaining from the 2 cups total for topping)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking and allow to cool.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce evenly over the bottom of a baking dish. Take each cooked noodle and spread approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken and cheese filling along its length. Starting at one end, carefully roll up each noodle and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled lasagna rolls in the dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top to create a golden, bubbly crust when baked.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze unbaked lasagna rolls in the baking dish, tightly covered with plastic wrap and foil, for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding additional time to cook thoroughly.
- Ensure noodles are laid flat during cooling to avoid sticking and ease rolling.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan and mozzarella for best flavor and melting texture.
