Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna Noodles

  • 12 lasagna noodles uncooked

Alfredo Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Filling

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and drizzle a little oil over them to prevent sticking. Spread them out flat on parchment paper to cool.
  3. Make Alfredo Sauce Base: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Add Cream and Seasonings: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine and let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
  5. Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Reduce heat and whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Remove from heat to prevent the sauce from breaking.
  6. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread 1 cup of the Alfredo sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a base layer.
  7. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella, and rotisserie chicken pieces. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  8. Roll Noodles with Filling: Lay a lasagna noodle flat on a cutting board. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the filling mixture down the center of the noodle. Carefully roll the noodle up and place it seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat for all noodles and filling.
  9. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolled noodles, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
  10. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  11. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes to set before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • To freeze for later, assemble the roll ups, cover the dish tightly, and freeze unbaked for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for a convenient and flavorful filling; alternatively, cooked shredded chicken breast works well.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream, although the sauce will be less rich.
