When Chicken Alfredo met lasagna... and they rolled with it! 🍝 INGREDIENTS -Lasagna noodles -2 Cups shredded chicken -15 Oz Ricotta Cheese -1/2 Cup shredded Parmesan - 1 Egg -1/2 Tsp garlic powder -1/2 Tsp Italian seasoning -1/2 Tsp salt -1/4 Tsp pepper -@Prego Alfredo sauce -2 Cups Shredded mozzarella (divided) DIRECTIONS 1. Boil the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and salt it heavily like the ocean. Drop in your lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain immediately and lay flat on parchment paper so they don't stick. 2. In a mixing bowl combine the ricotta, shredded chicken, ½ cup parmesan, 1 cup mozzarella, 1 egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully smooth and combined. 3. Spread a thin layer of your Alfredo sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish so the bottom of the rolls won't stick. 4. Lay each cooked noodle flat, spread a generous layer of the chicken mixture down the center, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolls seam-side down in your prepared baking dish. 5. Pour the rest of the Alfredo sauce evenly over the top of the rolls and smother with the remaining cup of mozzarella. 🔥 6. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes to keep everything super juicy. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for the final 10 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Spray the top of the foil so your mozzarella cheese dosent stick. 7. Let it sit for 5 minutes to let the filling set up before scooping and serving then MUNCH! #foodtok #recipesoftiktok #dinnerideas #comfortfood #lasagnarollups
