How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Step 1: Prepare the Noodles
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place dry noodles in a shallow pan and cover with hot water. Let soak for 30 minutes to soften.
Step 2: Build the Alfredo Sauce
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook briefly. Stir in spinach until wilted.
Step 3: Add Cream and Cheese
Add heavy cream, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan and ricotta until smooth. Fold in shredded chicken and remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the dish. Add noodles, Alfredo mixture, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella on top.
Step 5: Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and broil 2–3 minutes until golden.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Pro Tips for Perfect Alfredo Lasagna
- Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
- Don’t overcook the sauce — it thickens more in the oven.
