Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Cups with Spinach

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Cups with Spinach.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab two standard muffin tins with 12 cups each and give them a light spray of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   Set them aside for now.

4. Step 4

   In a large pot, bring some lightly salted water to a rolling boil.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s bubbling, add your lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until they’re perfectly al dente, which should take about 8 minutes.

6. Step 6

   When they’re done, use a slotted spoon to lift them out and transfer them to a colander.

7. Step 7

   Rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process, then lay them flat on a large baking sheet to cool.

8. Step 8

   Next, toss in some baby spinach into the boiling pasta water and stir it around for about 30 seconds until it wilts.

9. Step 9

   Drain the spinach, give it a good squeeze to remove any excess moisture, and then chop it coarsely.

10. Step 10

    In a spacious bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, shredded chicken, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1 1/2 cups of creamy Alfredo sauce.

11. Step 11

    Stir everything until it’s well combined and set this delicious mixture aside.

12. Step 12

    In another medium bowl, blend together the ricotta cheese, basil pesto, and a pinch of kosher salt until it’s smooth and creamy.

13. Step 13

    Now, take each lasagna noodle and spread about 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture on top.

14. Step 14

    Cut each noodle in half lengthwise, then spread 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each half.

15. Step 15

    Roll them up tightly, placing them cut-side down in your prepared muffin cups.

16. Step 16

    For the finishing touch, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the remaining Alfredo sauce over each lasagna cup.

17. Step 17

    Sprinkle the tops generously with the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and a bit of Parmesan, making sure to tuck any stray cheese into the muffin cups around the roll-ups.

18. Step 18

    Cover the muffin tins with aluminum foil and pop them into your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until everything is bubbly and the cheese is melting beautifully.

19. Step 19

    After that, remove the foil and let them bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese turns a lovely golden brown and is irresistibly bubbly.

20. Step 20

    Once they’re done, let the lasagna cups sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.

21. Step 21

    For a fresh finish, garnish with some chopped basil and parsley before serving.
