For Topping:

Instructions

1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles:

1. Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, spinach (if using), and seasonings. Mix well.

3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
3. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
5. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

4. Assemble the Lasagna Rolls:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
3. Take one lasagna noodle and spread a layer of the chicken mixture evenly over it.
4. Roll the noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.

5. Top and Bake:

1. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the lasagna rolls, ensuring they are evenly coated.
2. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
3. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. Garnish and Serve:
