How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls
Step 1: Boil the Noodles
Cook the lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente.
Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Lay them flat to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a pan, melt butter with heavy cream over medium-low heat.
Add minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes.
Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes while whisking.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3: Make the Chicken Filling
In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, and mozzarella.
Fold in the shredded chicken and a bit of Alfredo sauce until combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Spread a layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish.
Scoop about filling onto each noodle and roll it up tightly.
Place rolls seam-side down in the dish.
Step 5: Sauce and Cheese It
Pour the rest of the Alfredo sauce over the rolls.
Top with remaining mozzarella.
Step 6: Bake and Serve
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes.
Once the cheese is melty and bubbly, remove from the oven.
Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
What to Serve It With
Garlic bread or focaccia
Steamed or roasted broccoli
Crisp Caesar salad
A light white wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio
Variations / Substitutions
