- 1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
For the Lasagna Rolls:
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine.
- Lower the heat and gradually add the Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce thickens.
- Season with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg. Stir and remove from heat.
Step 2: Cook the Lasagna Noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain and rinse with cool water to prevent sticking. Lay flat on a parchment-lined surface.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce at the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Take a lasagna noodle and spread about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture evenly across it.
- Roll the noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Bake the Lasagna Rolls
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Variations: Add sautéed spinach and mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the rolls a day ahead, store in the fridge, and bake when ready.
