Ingredients

Scale

Sautéed Spinach

  • 1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking
  • 3 cups spinach

Alfredo Sauce

  • 8 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • Ground nutmeg, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Cheese and Pasta

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 15 lasagna sheets (approx. may vary by brand)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté Spinach: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cups of spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Make Alfredo Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt 8 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in 4 cups whole milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Season Sauce: Remove sauce from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, a pinch of ground nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare Ricotta: In a bowl, season 2 cups ricotta cheese with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce. Spread one third of the ricotta cheese over the pasta. Top with one third of the cooked chicken and the wilted spinach. Sprinkle with one third of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Add some of the remaining Alfredo sauce on top. Repeat these layers two more times or until ingredients are used up.
  6. Final Layer: Cover the final layer with the last of the Alfredo sauce and a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  8. Rest & Serve: Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the layers to set. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This Chicken Alfredo Lasagna is a delicious fusion of classic lasagna and creamy Alfredo sauce with chicken, perfect for comforting family dinners.
  • Make sure to let the lasagna rest after baking to allow the layers to firm up for easy slicing.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach if desired, just thaw and drain well before using.
  • Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • For a lighter version, consider using part-skim milk and reducing the butter.
