- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

For the Filling:

For the Lasagna Rolls:
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions
Making the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preparing the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Assembling the Lasagna Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken and cheese filling evenly over each noodle.
- Carefully roll up each noodle and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the lasagna rolls.
- Sprinkle the top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Baking:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
- If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden-brown top.
Serving:
