Ricotta Filling
- 8 oz ricotta
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ TBS garlic paste or 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
- 1 egg
- 1 cup diced cooked chicken
- 1 cup rough chopped baby spinach stems removed
- 2 TBS fresh chopped parsley
- ¼ cup fresh basil ribbons
- 1 scallion sliced
- Red pepper flakes optional
- 4 cooked lasagna noodles
Easy Alfredo Sauce Ingredients
- 6 TBS butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ TBS garlic paste or 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz wedge of Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 TBS chopped fresh parsley
- Salt & pepper
Garnish
- 1 cup or more shredded Mozzarella cheese
- red pepper flakes
- chopped parsley or basil ribbons
In a medium sized bowl, combine your ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic paste, egg, diced cooked chicken, spinach, parsley, basil, scallions, salt & pepper. Mix to combine. Set aside.
Get your salted water boiling for your lasagna noodles and cook to package directions.
Meanwhile, make your sauce by first melting the butter in a pot, adding in the heavy cream, shredded Parmesan, parsley, salt & pepper. Heating it gently until combined (not bringing it to a boil). Taste and adjust for added seasoning or cheese to your preference.
Lay cooked noodles out on a baking sheet or cutting board, spoon mixture down the center and fold over, twice to make a roll. Spread some alfredo sauce in your casserole baking dish and tuck rolls on top.
Once all rolls are in your baking dish top with the rest of the alfredo sauce and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, top with extra mozzarella cheese of you like and place back in oven until just melted.
Garnish with scallions, parsley, red pepper flakes etc. and serve.
Nutritional calculation (via a Wordpress app) is for the lasagna noodles and the filling. Alfredo calculation would vary by choosing to use either homemade or store-bought Alfredo sauce. Recipe makes enough Alfredo sauce for this recipe plus extra for another pasta night. OR half the Alfredo recipe if you just want enough sauce for 4 roll-ups. That would be approximately an additional 242 calories per serving. If you are doubling this recipe for 8 rolls, you do not need to double the sauce recipe.
