Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Noodles
- 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 1 teaspoon salt
Alfredo Sauce
- ⅓ cup butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk (2% or whole)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Filling and Topping
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions with 1 teaspoon salt until al dente. Drain and keep them in a pot with room temperature water to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: Melt butter over medium heat in a pan, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes. Add parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Continue whisking until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. If too thick, add a small amount of milk to loosen.
- Prepare Sauce Base: Spoon about ½ cup of Alfredo sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of Alfredo sauce with shredded chicken and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Spread a portion of the chicken filling mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle, then roll up tightly.
- Arrange and Top: Place the rolled noodles seam side down in the baking dish over the sauce. Spoon remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
- Delicate handling of noodles prevents tearing while rolling.
- If Alfredo sauce gets too thick, thin with a splash of milk before assembling.
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra parmesan on top before baking.
- Let the roll ups rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.
