- Yield: 7 1x
Description
Creamy chicken alfredo lasagna rolls with fresh spinach blend Italian comfort and elegant flavors in a single dish. Pasta lovers will savor each rich, cheesy bite while experiencing a delightful culinary journey through classic ingredients.
Ingredients
- 6 lasagna noodles (cooked and drained)
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) chicken (cooked, shredded)
- 1 cup (240 ml) ricotta cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) spinach (fresh, chopped)
- 1 egg
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup (240 ml) mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cup (180 ml) Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- parsley (fresh, chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over gentle heat, creating a golden flavor base. Add finely minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Cream Infusion: Pour heavy cream into the pan and bring to a soft simmer. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, blending until the mixture transforms into a smooth, luxurious sauce.
- Sauce Finishing: Continue simmering and stirring until the sauce reaches a velvety, clingy consistency. Remove from heat and let rest, allowing flavors to meld and deepen.
- Lasagna Roll Assembly: Lay out lasagna noodles and spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese. Sprinkle fresh spinach leaves evenly across the surface.
- Protein Layer: Distribute shredded cooked chicken uniformly over the spinach, ensuring complete coverage.
- Rolling Technique: Carefully roll each noodle from one end to the other, creating compact, tightly sealed rolls that will hold their shape during baking.
- Baking Preparation: Arrange rolls seam-side down in a prepared baking dish. Generously drizzle the prepared alfredo sauce over the rolls, ensuring complete coverage.
- Final Baking: Place in a preheated oven at 375°F and bake for 25-30 minutes until the rolls are heated through and the top becomes golden and slightly crispy.
Notes
- Prevent Garlic Burning: Sauté garlic quickly at medium heat for exactly 30 seconds to release flavor without bitter scorching, which can ruin the entire sauce’s delicate profile.
- Cheese Grating Technique: Always use freshly grated Parmesan for maximum flavor intensity and smoother melting, avoiding pre-packaged varieties that lack depth and can become grainy.
- Sauce Consistency Control: Maintain a gentle simmer when incorporating cream and cheese, stirring continuously to prevent separation and ensure a smooth, luxurious texture without curdling.
- Temperature Management: Remove sauce from heat immediately after reaching desired thickness, allowing residual warmth to continue subtle flavor development without risking scorching or breaking the delicate cream base.
