Ingredients
8 Servings
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 115 g butter
- 450 g chicken breast
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic
- 475 ml heavy cream
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 240 g mozzarella cheese
- 120 g Parmesan cheese
- 475 g ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 150 g spinach
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 2
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, cooked spinach, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 7
Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the shredded chicken. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and then pour 1/3 of the Alfredo sauce on top.
Step 8
Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 9
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 10
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
