Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls
Ingredients
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 1 and a half cup You can even use other types of cheese as well
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes for sprinkling one pinch
One pinch of nutmeg
Italian seasoning half tsp
Garlic powder half tsp
Garlic clove 1 chopped
Cream 1 and a half cup
2 to 3 tbsp of butter
For the lasagna rolls:
Lasagna noodles uncooked 9-10
Egg 1
Parsley for garnishing
Rotisserie chicken shredded 2 cups You can always use leftovers
Mozzarella 1 and a half cup grated
Ricotta cheese 1 cup
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baking dish for your lasagna rolls.
In a pot of boiling water, add your lasagna noodles and cook them according to the instructions in the back of the packet. Add some salt and a little oil so the noodles do not stick to the pot.
Drain them and wash them under cold water so they do not stick. Or you can add some olive oil and mix to avoid them breaking. Lay them flat on the baking sheet now while you prepare your Alfredo sauce.
Take a non-stick pan and add the butter and cream. Heat in on low flame and add the seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, garlic, nutmeg, and some flakes of red chili.
Make sure the heat is medium now and let all the ingredients cook for 5 minutes. Stir constantly to make the mixture thick. Add some parmesan cheese for a great flavor.
Spread some of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish as it will be the first layer as a sauce.
In a bowl add some ricotta, egg, and mozzarella. Mix it and now add half of the remaining alfredo sauce to it.
Spread this mixture on the lasagna rolls and roll them up. Arrange them on the baking dish and add remaining of the Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with the foil and cook it for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is brown. Add some parsley on the top and make sure to serve it hot and fresh

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use different types of cheese for this recipe?
Yes, you can use different types of cheese according to your preference.
While the recipe suggests Parmigiano Reggiano, you can experiment with cheeses like cheddar, Gouda, or a blend of cheeses.
Can I use pre-cooked lasagna noodles instead of uncooked ones?
The recipe calls for uncooked lasagna noodles.
If you prefer to use pre-cooked noodles, you might need to adjust the baking time accordingly, as pre-cooked noodles won’t absorb as much liquid during baking.
Can I substitute the rotisserie chicken with another protein?
Absolutely, you can replace the rotisserie chicken with cooked and shredded turkey, ground beef, or even cooked and crumbled sausage, depending on your taste preferences.
How can I make the Alfredo sauce thicker or creamier?
If you prefer a thicker Alfredo sauce, you can simmer it for a bit longer to reduce it.
You can also add a bit more cheese or a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the lasagna rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Just cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil.
When you’re ready to bake, you may need to increase the baking time slightly since the dish will be cold from the refrigerator.
Can I use a different type of cheese than Parmigiano Reggiano and mozzarella?
Yes, you can substitute other types of cheeses based on your preferences.
Cheddar, provolone, or a blend of Italian cheeses can also work well in this recipe.
Can I use homemade Alfredo sauce instead of making it from scratch?
Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade Alfredo sauce, you can use it in this recipe to save time.
Just make sure the consistency is similar to the sauce mentioned in the recipe.
Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Yes, you can certainly customize the filling by adding sautéed spinach, roasted red peppers, or other vegetables you enjoy.
Just make sure to chop and cook them before adding to the ricotta and cheese mixture.
Can I prepare the lasagna rolls in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the lasagna rolls and store them in the refrigerator before baking.
When you’re ready to bake, simply remove them from the fridge, add the sauce and cheese, and bake according to the recipe instructions.
