Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook lasagna noodles according to the package directions if using regular noodles. Drain and lay them flat to prevent sticking.
If your Alfredo is not ready, warm or make it now, ensuring it's smooth and pourable.
Assembly
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo on the bottom of the baking dish.
Build the first layer: place noodles, then a generous handful of shredded chicken, dollops of ricotta, a layer of spinach (if using), and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Spoon a thin layer of Alfredo over the top.
Repeat the layers (noodles → chicken → ricotta → spinach → mozzarella → Alfredo) until you reach the top of the dish.
Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining Alfredo, and a generous dusting of Parmesan.
Baking
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Let the lasagna rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan. If using oven-ready noodles, ensure the sauce layers are generous to hydrate the noodles while baking. Let the lasagna rest after baking for cleaner slices.
