Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
12 lasagna noodles (oven-ready or boiled)
½ cup Alfredo sauce (for topping)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Optional: Parsley for garnish
Instructions
Melt butter in a saucepan, add garlic, and cook 1-2 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream until smooth, then stir in Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer 3-5 minutes until thickened.
In a bowl, combine chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until uniform.
Cook lasagna noodles (if not oven-ready). Drain and lay flat on parchment paper.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13-inch dish with ½ cup Alfredo sauce. Spread 2-3 tbsp filling on each noodle, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
Pour remaining Alfredo over rolls, sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella on top.
Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover, bake 10 more minutes until golden. Garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Assemble rolls up to 24 hours ahead in an airtight container.
Let rolls rest 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner results.
For a non-dairy Alfredo option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and butter with olive oil.
