Ingredients
Lasagna Ingredients
- 9-12 pieces lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready)
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
- 1 piece egg
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment to avoid sticking.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir in spinach if using.
Layering
- Spread 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add a layer of noodles.
- Spread some ricotta mixture, then sprinkle chicken, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
- Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with noodles, sauce, and cheese on top.
Baking
- Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Serving
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, sauté garlic and onions before adding them to the ricotta mixture. Feel free to mix in other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for more nutrition. If you’re short on time, using store-bought sauce speeds up the process without sacrificing flavor. For a vegetarian version, leave out the chicken and add extra veggies like zucchini or mushrooms.
