Our chicken Alfredo lasagna recipe doesn’t contain any ricotta cheese or red sauce. Instead, we swap in an easy homemade Alfredo sauce, shredded rotisserie chicken and three types of cheese.

Ingredients

4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, cut into strips
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto or deli ham, cut into strips
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 cups shredded Asiago cheese, divided
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
9 no-cook lasagna noodles
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1-1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook pancetta and prosciutto over medium heat until browned. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl; add chicken and toss to combine.
For sauce, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup Asiago cheese, 1 tablespoon parsley and seasonings.
Preheat oven to 375°. Spread 1/2 cup sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with 3 noodles, a third of the remaining sauce, a third of the meat mixture, and 1/2 cup each Asiago, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat layers twice.
Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

My family was growing tired of traditional red sauce lasagna, so I created this fun twist using a creamy homemade Alfredo sauce. Store-bought rotisserie chicken keeps prep simple and fast. —Caitlin MacNeilly, Uncasville, Connecticut
