Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay them on a clean towel so they don’t stick.
In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, chopped spinach (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Assembly
Place one lasagna noodle on your work surface. Spoon a line of the chicken–ricotta mixture along one short edge of the noodle.
Roll the noodle away from you into a tight cylinder and place it seam-side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll-ups. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan across the top.
Baking
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Let the roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
These roll-ups are great for leftovers and reheat well. Serve hot, garnished with parsley or basil.
