  • Roux ingredients– Butter and flour to make the sauce nice and thick
  • Chicken broth– You could also use chicken stock
  • Heavy cream– Don’t go for a lower fat dairy product. The sauce won’t properly thicken.
  • Salt and pepper– To taste

And for the lasagna rolls themselves you’ll need:

  • Ricotta cheese– A full pound. You can use any level of milk fat though be aware the skim ricotta cheeses tend to be drier than the ricotta that are part skim or whole milk.
  • Spinach– Frozen chopped spinach, thawed with the extra moisture squeezed out.
  • Chicken– Save yourself from making chicken and use shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • Cheese– Shredded mozzarella and shredded parmesan
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper– To taste
  • Lasagna noodles– Cooked according to package instructions

Tips and Tricks

  • You can add a little more flavor to the sauce by adding a pinch of nutmeg to the bechamel sauce.
  • The spinach is optional. If you don’t like it, don’t add it.
  • You can also season the ricotta mixture a bit more if you want. Adding an Italian seasoning blend, more garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, or even a little lemon zest would give it more flavor.
  • Really want to make this quick? Skip making your own sauce and use a large jar of alfredo sauce instead.
