Ingredients

For the Alfredo Sauce:

1. Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese – 1 and a half cups (feel free to experiment with other cheeses for a twist)
2. Salt and Pepper – to taste
3. Red Pepper Flakes – one pinch (for a subtle kick)
4. Nutmeg – one pinch (it’s the secret whisper of flavor)
5. Italian Seasoning – ½ tsp
6. Garlic Powder – ½ tsp
7. Fresh Garlic Clove – 1, chopped (for that essential garlic zing)
8. Cream – 1 and a half cups (the base of your creamy sauce)
9. Butter – 2 to 3 tbsp (adds richness)

For the Lasagna Rolls:

1. Lasagna Noodles (Uncooked) – 9 to 10
2. Egg – 1 (acts as a binder)
3. Parsley – for garnishing (adds color and freshness)
4. Rotisserie Chicken (Shredded) – 2 cups (a time-saver ingredient)
5. Mozzarella Cheese – 1 and a half cups, grated (for that gooey cheese pull)
6. Ricotta Cheese – 1 cup (adds creaminess to the filling)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish. This will be the cozy bed for your lasagna rolls.
2. Boil the Noodles: In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles as per the package instructions. Add a touch of oil to prevent sticking. Once cooked, drain, and cool them with cold water or a drizzle of olive oil. Lay them flat on a baking sheet.
3. Craft the Alfredo Sauce: In a non-stick pan, melt the butter and add the cream. Warm it over a low flame. Stir in the garlic, seasoning, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat to medium, letting the ingredients mingle and the sauce thicken for about 5 minutes. Add the Parmigiano Reggiano for a luxurious flavor.
4. Layer the Sauce: Spread a portion of the Alfredo sauce at the bottom of your prepared dish.
5. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, and half of the mozzarella. Mix in half of the remaining Alfredo sauce.
6. Assemble the Rolls: Spread this cheese mixture over each lasagna noodle. Add a layer of shredded chicken. Roll them up gently and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
7. Final Touches: Pour the rest of the Alfredo sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella.
8. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with parsley.
9. Serve Hot: Make sure to serve these culinary beauties hot and fresh for a truly comforting experience.
