How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente.
Drain and place the noodles flat on parchment paper or foil, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine:
- Parmesan cheese
- Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- Shredded chicken
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic salt
- Half of the Alfredo sauce
Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Roll Ups
Pat the noodles dry if necessary.
Spread an even amount of filling onto each noodle.
Carefully roll each noodle into a tight spiral.
Place each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll ups.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 6: Bake
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end while watching carefully.
Step 7: Serve
Allow the roll ups to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with garlic bread or a fresh salad.
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- Cottage cheese can be substituted for ricotta.
- Add spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Freshly grated mozzarella melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
