Lasagna Rollups are basically a way to make lasagna that is easy to serve up. Lasagna fillings are added to cooked lasagna noodles then rolled up and added to a casserole dish and topped with sauce. Its a fun alternative to traditional lasagna. Can I use a homemade Alfredo sauce instead? Yes. Heres what you need and how to make it:3 Tablespoons salted butter3 cloves garlic, minced2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour1 cups heavy cream cup grated parmesan cheese1/4 teaspoon saltDirections:Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it smells fragrant.Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking all the time to keep the sauce smooth and lump-free. Bring it up to a very gentle simmer.Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is noticeably thicker. Take it off the heat and set it aside for later. Can I prepare this ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare this the day before, cover with aluminum foil, then place into the refrigerator. You may need to add a few minutes onto the cooking time since youre starting from cold. What else can I add to the rollups? You can add spinach, finely chopped broccoli, and sauteed mushrooms. Why are my rollups tearing and falling apart? They might have been cooked too long or overstuffed, which can happen if you add extra items to the roll ups. I recommend cooking the lasagna pasta about 2 minutes less than the package directions call for so they arent too soft. What goes well with the rollups? A salad and Garlic Bread go great with the rollups.Dinner Rolls and some roasted or steamed veggies also work nicely. Whats the best way to store leftovers? You can keep this in the fridge for up to 4 days.You can freeze this dish in an airtight container for up to 1 month.I think this can be frozen before or after baking if using the jarred Alfredo sauce. If using homemade, its a little trickier. The homemade sauces like to separate when reheated so you have to be really careful about reheating those. Whats the best way to reheat leftovers? You can reheat the dish in the microwave or in the oven at 350F for 15 minutes or until heated through.

I shared the recipe for that above in the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions). Additionally, you could use regular alfredo, I just like the extra pop of flavor the garlic alfredo brings.shredded mozzarella cheese I just used the pre-shredded kind here to keep this fast and easy to make but you can certainly shred it yourself.grated Parmesan cheese you can use freshly grated or the stuff in the green bottle ricotta cheese some folks prefer this with small curd cottage cheese (its also a cheaper option) so use what you prefer.Italian seasoning and garlic powder I use garlic powder but you could certainly use a little fresh garlic or the jarred stuff (add to taste.) shredded cooked chicken I used a rotisserie chicken, but you can use any already cooked, ready to go chicken.

NOTE: You can stick it under the broiler or a minute or two to get a golden brown top. Do not do this if you are not comfortable with broiling so you don't burn it. You cannot leave anything alone in the oven while broiling. You have to watch it the entire time or it can burn very fast. You want it under there just long enough to get a little golden brown color on top. Optional: Sprinkle the top with 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or dried parsley.) Then serve! NotesPlease refer to my FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.If you are using pre-shredded mozzarella, a lot of the bags are sold in 2 cup servings (an 8 ounce bag). This recipe calls for 3 cups. You can use less cheese in this recipe if you just want to buy just the one bag. Just use one cup shredded mozzarella in the chicken mixture and one cup for the topping.NutritionCalories: 984kcal | Carbohydrates: 53g | Protein: 61g | Fat: 57g | Sodium: 1933mg | Fiber: 2g | Sugar: 4g
