Ingredients

For the Alfredo Sauce

• 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

For the Lasagna

• 9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
• 3 cups (450 g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 2 cups (200 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup (100 g) shredded provolone cheese
• 1 cup (100 g) ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups (200 g) fresh spinach (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

4. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and egg. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna

6. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
7. Place three cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the shredded chicken, a handful of spinach (if using), and a generous drizzle of Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and provolone cheese.
8. Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of Alfredo sauce and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and provolone cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake the Lasagna

9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

11. Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

• Make-ahead option: Assemble the lasagna up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Add 10 minutes to the bake time if starting cold.
