Ingredients:
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 56 grams (1/4 cup) butter, cubed
- 355 milliliters (1 1/2 cups) heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2.5 milliliters (1/2 teaspoon) garlic powder
- 2.5 milliliters (1/2 teaspoon) Italian seasoning
- 1.25 milliliters (1/4 teaspoon) Kosher salt
- 1.25 milliliters (1/4 teaspoon) pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 170 grams (1 1/2 cups) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
For the Lasagna Rolls:
- 9 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 240 grams (1 cup) ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 170 grams (1 1/2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 454 grams (2 cups) cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold in the cooked, shredded chicken and 1/4 cup of the prepared Alfredo sauce until well combined.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the Alfredo sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles on a flat surface. Spread about 1/3 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly along each noodle. Roll up the noodles tightly and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the lasagna rolls, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes:
- For a vegetarian option, you can omit the chicken and add in your favorite vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers.
- Leftover lasagna rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Feel free to customize the Alfredo sauce by adding additional herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
