Description
Creamy Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls: tender noodles wrapped around a ricotta–chicken filling, smothered in silky Alfredo and molten mozzarella—an easier, tidy twist on classic lasagna.
Ingredients
12 lasagna noodles (regular, whole-wheat, or gluten-free)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
2 cups ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese for lighter)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1 cup Alfredo sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
- Cook lasagna noodles in salted boiling water until al dente (8–10 minutes). Drain and lay flat on parchment or a lightly oiled sheet to cool.
- In a large bowl, stir together chicken, ricotta, Parmesan, 1 cup mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
- Assemble rolls: Spread about 1/4 cup filling over each noodle from end to end. Roll up snugly and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.
- Top & bake: Pour remaining 2 cups Alfredo over the rolls, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup mozzarella on top. Cover tightly with foil and bake 25 minutes.
- Uncover and bake 15–20 minutes more, until bubbly and lightly golden. Rest 5–10 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
Make-ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance; cover and refrigerate. Add 5–10 minutes to bake time if going in cold.
Freeze: Freeze baked or unbaked (tightly wrapped) up to 4 months. Thaw overnight; bake or reheat at 350°F (175°C) until hot.
No tearing tips: Cook noodles al dente, drain well, and lay flat to cool before spreading filling.
Sauce insurance: Use the full 3 cups to keep rolls moist; drizzle extra when reheating if needed.
Variations: Swap chicken for sautéed spinach and/or mushrooms; add red pepper flakes, basil, or oregano for extra pop.
Lighter version: Whole-wheat noodles + low-fat cheeses + light Alfredo.
Gluten-free: Use GF noodles and a GF Alfredo.
