# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Boil lasagna noodles in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a lightly oiled surface to prevent sticking.
02 -
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and whisk in Cajun seasoning and grated parmesan. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, grated parmesan, shredded cheese blend, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, and shredded chicken. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
04 -
Lightly grease a 23x33 cm baking dish with olive oil. Spread a few spoonfuls of Cajun alfredo sauce over the bottom. Place about 2/3 cup of filling along one end of each cooked lasagna noodle. Roll up tightly and arrange each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.
05 -
Pour warm Cajun alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled lasagna rolls, ensuring all crevices are covered. Top evenly with shredded cheese blend.
06 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, until the cheese is melted, edges are bubbling, and the top turns golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Allow the rolls to rest briefly before serving to help the filling set and maintain their shape.
