- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce homemade or store-bought
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup spinach chopped
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a sheet of wax paper or a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from sticking together.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, the egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined. Stir in the cooked chicken and chopped spinach.
Spread each lasagna noodle with an even layer of the ricotta mixture. Roll up the noodles tightly and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Place the lasagna roll-ups seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the roll-ups, making sure they are completely covered.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top of the sauce-covered roll-ups.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna roll-ups cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
- Cook the lasagna noodles just until tender. If they are too soft, they can tear when rolling.
- If your ricotta looks watery, let it drain for a few minutes before mixing. This keeps the filling thick and creamy.
- If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out all excess moisture before adding to the filling.
- Do not overfill the noodles. A thin, even layer makes rolling easier and keeps them from splitting while baking.
- Let the roll ups rest 5 to 10 minutes after baking so they hold their shape when serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently so the sauce stays creamy.
