Calories per serving: Approximately 400-450 kcal
Suggested meal time: Dinner
Serving size: 2 roll-ups

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Alfredo Filling:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

• 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Alfredo Sauce:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

• 1 cup milk

• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor)

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Lasagna Rolls:

• 9-12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente (use a large pot of salted water)

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lasagna Rolls:

   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

   • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, laying them flat on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together.

2. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

   • Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

   • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using), and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Chicken Alfredo Filling:

   • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley (if using), and salt and pepper. Mix well.

4. Assemble the Lasagna Roll Ups:

   • Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

   • Take one cooked lasagna noodle and spread a generous amount of the chicken Alfredo filling along the center. Roll the noodle up tightly.

   • Place the roll-up seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling, placing each roll-up next to the other.

5. Top the Lasagna Rolls:

   • Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the lasagna rolls.

   • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.

6. Bake the Lasagna Roll Ups:

   • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

   • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.

7. Serve:

   • Let the lasagna roll-ups cool for a few minutes before serving.

   • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

• Energy-efficient tip: Prepare the filling and sauce ahead of time and refrigerate, then assemble and bake the rolls when ready to serve.
