Let’s dive into how you can create these mouthwatering rolls in your own kitchen. This recipe is straightforward yet elegant, making it a great choice for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (or other cheese of your choice)

Salt and pepper to taste

A pinch of red pepper flakes

A pinch of nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 1/2 cups cream

2 to 3 tablespoons butter

9-10 uncooked lasagna noodles

1 egg

Parsley for garnishing

2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or leftover chicken)

1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella

1 cup ricotta cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent the rolls from sticking. A 9×13-inch dish works well for this recipe, providing ample space for the rolls to be arranged comfortably.

2. Cook the Lasagna Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. Adding a little oil to the boiling water helps prevent the noodles from sticking together. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and to keep them from sticking. Alternatively, you can toss them with a bit of olive oil. Lay the noodles flat on a baking sheet or clean kitchen towel while you prepare the Alfredo sauce.

3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

In a non-stick pan, melt 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the cream, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of nutmeg, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Add the chopped garlic, and let the mixture cook on medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Once the sauce has thickened, add a generous amount of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, stirring until it is fully melted and incorporated.

4. Prepare the Filling

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, the beaten egg, and grated mozzarella. Mix well. Add half of the prepared Alfredo sauce to this mixture and stir until it is evenly distributed. This will be the creamy filling for your lasagna rolls …
