Italian Pasta Recipes
I know a thing or two about making pasta recipes. I have fond memories of my late mother making angel hair pasta by hand in our kitchen. I’d see her delicately cutting the pasta on the same cutting board I use today. I just can’t get rid of this old wood cutting board.

How to Make Cheesy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups
*The full recipe is at the bottom of this post
First, preheat oven to 375F or 190C.
Then, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions minus one minute.
Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast in half. Poach the chicken breast in a small sauce pan 2/3 filled with water. Cook for 10 min or until the chicken is no longer pink when cut inside thickest part. Shred when cooled.
While chicken and lasagna noodles are cooking, combine the remaining ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Add shredded chicken when it done cooking. Stir until well mixed.
I use Galbani brand ricotta cheese because it is the creamiest ricotta cheese that I know. It makes a difference in taste and texture! I”m not getting paid to say that either. Believe me..
Next, spoon about 1/8 of the cheese and chicken mixture onto one cooked and drained lasagna noodle. Spread it out onto the noodle to cover it entirely without getting onto the rippled edges. Roll it up as pictured. Repeat for each of the remaining lasagna noodles. (If any noodles are broken, you can still use them as best you can.)
Last, put the 8 Cheesy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups into a 1.5 qt baking dish or similar size baking dish and pour the sauce on top. Cover with foil and bake in a 375F or 190C oven for 20 min.
