Jump to Recipe

I first tried this Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls recipe when I was looking for a dinner that was both hearty and simple. Using 12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente, I rolled up 2 cups of shredded, cooked chicken inside each noodle.

The recipe calls for 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 3 garlic cloves minced to create a rich base that blends perfectly with 2 cups heavy cream. I was impressed when I added 1 1/2 cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella, which melded into a creamy, cheesy sauce.

I always season with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and sometimes I throw in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color. Its nutritional value is solid with protein and calcium, making it a favorite among Best Italian Recipes and other classic Lasagne Roll Ups that mimic a perfect Chicken Alfredo Lasagna flavor.

Why I Like this Recipe

I really enjoy this recipe for a bunch of reasons. First, I love how the creamy garlic sauce makes every bite so rich and flavorful, its like having a homemade treat on a weeknight. Second, I think the rolled up lasagna noodles are a cool twist on regular chicken alfredo so i feel like i’m trying something new and exciting. Third, the mix of cheeses, especially when the mozzarella melts over the top, creates a gooey, satisfying texture that i just cant get enough of. Lastly, its super simple to make, which really takes the pressure off when i’m in a rush but still want something tasty and comforting.

FAQ

Q: Can i make these lasagna rolls ahead of time?

A: Yeah, you can prep them a day in advance and just pop them in the oven when youre ready. They might need a few extra minutes to reheat properly.

Q: Can i use store-bought Alfredo sauce instead of making my own?

A: Sure, but using heavy cream and butter really gives you a richer, more flavorful sauce. Store-bought is fine if youre in a hurry.

Q: Do i need to cook the lasagna noodles beforehand?

A: Yes, its best to cook them al dente first. This ensures they wont be too hard or too soft once baked.

Q: Can i substitute mozzarella with another cheese?

A: Definitely, but mozzarella adds that nice stretch and milder flavor. You can experiment though if you prefer a different taste.

Q: What if i dont have fresh parsley?

A: No problem at all, parsley is optional. You can just skip it or use dried parsley if you like.

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Lasagna noodles – If you don’t have regular noodles, you can try using no-boil lasagna sheets instead.
Heavy cream – You can swap heavy cream with half-and-half mixed with a bit of melted butter for a lighter alternative.
Unsalted butter – Olive oil or even ghee works fine if you’re looking for a different flavor profile.
Parmesan cheese – In a pinch, you can use Pecorino Romano, though its sharper taste will change the flavor a bit.
Mozzarella cheese – If you can’t find mozzarella, Monterey Jack is a decent substitute with a similar melt and texture.

Pro Tips

1. If your sauce seems too thick, try stirring in a bit of the pasta water; it helps smooth everything out without making it too runny
2. When you melt the butter and garlic, watch them closely so the garlic doesnt burn – burnt garlic can ruin the overall flavor
3. Make sure your cheeses are freshly grated if you can; pre-grated stuff can affect how well the sauce comes together
4. Be gentle when rolling the noodles, they can tear easily – if one does split, just add a little extra sauce to keep it all together
