Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups recipe

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Prep and Mix the Filling
10 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour about 1/2 cup of the Alfredo sauce across the bottom to create a smooth, non-stick base layer. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, 1 cup of the mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Stir until completely smooth.

2
Prepare the Noodles
5 mins

Boil your lasagna noodles in salted water until they are just al dente (they should still have a slight bite, as they will continue cooking in the oven). Drain them thoroughly and lay them flat in a single layer on sheets of wax paper or a clean baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

3
Assemble the Roll Ups
10 mins

Spread roughly 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly along the entire length of each lasagna noodle. Scatter a generous handful of the shredded chicken over the cheese layer. Starting from one short end, carefully roll the noodle up tightly to enclose the filling.

4
Sauce, Top, and Bake
25 mins

Place each assembled roll up into your prepared baking dish, seam-side down so they stay securely closed. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the tops of all the rolls. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan across the surface. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden-brown.

 

Pro-Tips for Kitchen Success

  • Prevent Noodle Sticking: To prevent your cooked lasagna sheets from sticking together or tearing before you can roll them, add a tiny splash of olive oil to the boiling pasta water, or rinse the drained noodles briefly under cool water to stop the cooking process and wash away excess starches.

  • Keep the Shreds Dry: If you are shredding your own mozzarella, opt for a low-moisture block rather than fresh mozzarella stored in water. Fresh mozzarella releases a significant amount of liquid as it melts, which can turn your rich Alfredo sauce watery during the baking process.

  • The Freezer-Friendly Strategy: This dish is a dream for meal planning. You can completely assemble the roll ups in the baking dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze it unbaked for up to three months. When you are ready to enjoy it, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then bake as directed, adding about 5 to 10 extra minutes to the covered baking time.

Serving Suggestion: Serve these rich, creamy roll ups warm out of the oven garnished with fresh parsley. They pair flawlessly with a crisp, acidic green salad tossed in a zesty Italian vinaigrette and a side of warm garlic bread
