Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- 8×8 baking pan
- Large pot for boiling noodles
- Cooking spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Parchment paper or paper towels
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 ½ cups Alfredo sauce (optional homemade recipe below)
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- Oregano
- Garlic salt
- 3 cups shredded Mozzarella, or cheese of your choice
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and pour ½ cup of Alfredo sauce into the bottom.
- In a large pot, boil 8-10 cups of water and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente. It’s a good idea to cook a couple of extra noodles in case any break.
- Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent sticking. Lay each noodle out individually and blot dry with a paper towel.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce over each noodle, then sprinkle with oregano and garlic salt.
- Evenly distribute 1/9 of the shredded chicken over each noodle and add approximately 3 tablespoons of cheese.
- Roll up each noodle, starting at one end, and place them seam-side down in the prepared pan.
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Tips for Success
- Ensure your noodles are cooked just right—not too soft to prevent breaking.
- Use cold water to rinse the noodles to stop the cooking process and make handling easier.
- Be gentle when rolling to keep the fillings intact.
Additional Tips and Variations
For a healthier version, consider using whole wheat noodles and adding some spinach to the filling. You can also experiment with different cheeses such as Gouda or feta for a unique twist.
