I was afraid rolling up the lasagna noodles with the filling inside would turn out to be a big mess, but it really wasn’t. This elegant rolled pasta was honestly quite easy to put together.
And I love that this makes enough for two meals. I divide the rolls between two pans and put one in the freezer for later.
A big hit in my house! Thanks for the recipe. ~ Fatima
I do really love the spinach in this recipe, but if you prefer, you can also use finely chopped broccoli. Either way, these tasty chicken and pasta rolls are sure to be a hit!

I made this last night. I followed the recipe to the letter. Foil over top and baked 30 minutes, 350 degrees. Removed foil and baked another 8 minutes. That’s when the sauce broke.
The finished rolls were sitting in butter and the creamy part separated. What happened?
Chris
You say this recipe makes enough for two pans? How so? 18 laz. Noodles I’d think wouldn’t be enough for two pans?
Looks delish!!
Danelle
Sorry Chris, I should have specified I make 2 smaller pans, like a 9×9 size. You could probably fit all 18 in one big pan. Although the pan I used in the photo was 9×13 and I had 10 in that one. So depending on how many people you’ll be feeding, you could split it up for 2 meals.

I discovered that pasta’s can be cooked together with the meats and vegetables in one pan, and I’m doing it lately with sperilli’s and macaronis!

A bit hit in my house!thanks for the recipe.

I was picking up a couple from the airport after house-sitting, and thought they would enjoy an easy homecooked dinner after a long flight. I was curious about your lasagna (I’ve never seen it rolled up before), but I’m a sucker for a cream sauce, so I prepared it and put it in the oven before heading to the airport. I felt like the recipe was pretty straightforward and easy, and it was great for someone who didn’t like spice.
It was a hit.
I still get asked about this lasagna, and I’ve cooked it twice now for other people (I’ve had some). I think it just looks elevated, and photographs really well. Thanks for the recipe.
Danelle
Thank you so much!

I am doing this for a fashion show luncheon and was wondering if I can make this the day before and bake it later the next day?
Danelle
I have not tried it, but I think it would work.
Sarah Beavers
I really enjoyed this, but it came out much drier than I wanted. I ended up having to double the sauce. The recipe calls for 3 cups shredded chicken. Should I have measured the chicken before shredding, or is it supposed to be dumped in the cup w/o packing?
Danelle
I measure the chicken after shredding and don’t pack it in the cup.
