This recipe offers a delicious twist on the classic lasagna by incorporating the luxurious flavors of Alfredo sauce, making it a great meal for family dinners or special gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 3 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 cup baby spinach (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for the noodles)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the lasagna noodles:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.
    • Drain the noodles and toss them with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set them aside.
  • Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Mix the ricotta cheese layer:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.
  • Assemble the lasagna:
    • Spread about 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
    • Lay 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, evenly spaced.
    • Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the shredded chicken, and then about 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
    • If using spinach, sprinkle half of it on top of the chicken.
    • Pour 1 cup of Alfredo sauce over the layer.
    • Repeat the layers: add 3 more lasagna noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, chicken, spinach (if using), and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Pour another cup of Alfredo sauce on top.
    • Finish with the last 3 lasagna noodles and pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top.
    • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake the lasagna:
    • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Cool and serve:
    • Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
    • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • This recipe is very flexible, allowing for the addition or removal of vegetables like spinach.
  • Use part-skim ricotta or mozzarella cheese for a lighter version.
