- 1.5 cups 360g ricotta cheese
- 2/3 cup 90g frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and well-drained
- 4 oz 115g sun-dried tomatoes, strained and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2.5 cups 300g shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, divided
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup 240ml heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup 50g grated parmesan cheese
- Cajun Seasoning or use store-bought:
- 2 tablespoons mild paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust for heat
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and cream cheese. Mix until smooth. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, Cajun seasoning, chicken, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Fold until well combined.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and whisk in the Cajun seasoning and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Spread a few spoonfuls of the Alfredo sauce in the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
- To assemble the lasagna rolls, scoop about 2/3 cup of the filling onto one end of each cooked lasagna sheet. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining warm Alfredo sauce evenly over the rolls, ensuring to cover any exposed areas. Sprinkle the remaining 1.5 cups of shredded cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, or until the edges are crisp, bubbling, and the top is golden brown.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, you can omit the chicken and add more vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini. Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your spice preference.
