Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Rolls
- 10 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and egg. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes or as per package instructions. Drain carefully and lay the noodles flat on a clean surface or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll the Lasagna: Evenly spread the prepared filling over each cooked noodle. Roll the noodles tightly from one end to the other, then place each roll seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, arranging them snugly side by side.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls, ensuring each roll is generously covered. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the rolls for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the lasagna rolls rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm to enjoy the full flavor.
Notes
- You can prepare the filling a day ahead and refrigerate to save time.
- Boil noodles carefully to avoid overcooking and tearing when rolling.
- Use homemade Alfredo sauce for a richer flavor or store-bought for convenience.
- Make sure to cover with foil during the first bake to prevent the noodles from drying out.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
