  • Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

    Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

    Think of the rich, creamy, indulgent joy of Fettucine Alfredo. Good. Now, imagine you have layers upon layers of it and some melty mozzarella, chicken, and spinach to round things out. That’s our Chicken Alfredo Lasagna for you.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 12-15 lasagna noodles
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 10 oz fresh baby spinach
    • 4 cups heavy cream
    • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
    • 15 oz ricotta cheese
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
    • 4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • Fresh parsley, minced, for serving (optional)

    How To Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.
    2. In a separate 9×13-inch pan or other long and shallow dish, arrange the uncooked lasagna noodles. Pour hot water over them until noodles are submerged and set aside to soak while you work on the rest of the lasagna. Let sit at least 30 minutes, agitate occasionally with your hands to prevent sticking.
    3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter, followed by onion. Cook until onion becomes translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more.
    4. Stir in spinach and cook briefly until spinach wilts.
    5. Add heavy cream, basil, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan and ricotta until melted. Stir in chicken and remove from heat. (If mixture is too liquidy, you can simmer for a few minutes to thicken.)
    6. Add a spoonful of the Alfredo mixture to the bottom of your prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Arrange a layer of noodles over the sauce.
    7. Top first layer of noodles with about a third of the Alfredo mixture, followed by a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up your ingredients, mozzarella should be your top layer.
    8. Cover dish with foil and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and broil to brown cheese, if desired, 2-3 minutes.
    9. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

With just a few basic ingredients and a straightforward method, you can whip up a batch of fresh, fluffy pita bread in a mere 6 minutes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of table salt
    • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
    • 1 tablespoon of yogurt
    • 6.76 fluid ounces (approximately 3/4 cup) of milk
    • 10.58 ounces of plain flour (approximately 2 1/4 cups)
    • 1 tablespoon of dry yeast
    Method of Preparation
    1. Mixing the Ingredients: Begin by combining sugar, salt, and oil in a large bowl. Add yogurt and warm milk, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
    2. Incorporating Flour and Yeast: Next, add the flour and dry yeast to the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
    3. Kneading the Dough: Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable, no longer sticking to your hands.
    4. Allowing the Dough to Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise for 20 minutes until it doubles in size.
    5. Rolling and Shaping: After the dough has risen, gently deflate it and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal parts and shape each into a ball.
    6. Baking: Roll each ball into a small circle using a rolling pin. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and cover with a tea towel. Bake in a preheated oven at 250°C for 6 minutes.
    7. Serving: Once baked, allow the pita bread to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, fluffy goodness of homemade pita bread!
      Rolling and Shaping

      Rolling and shaping the dough is a crucial step in achieving the perfect pita bread. Take each portion of dough and gently roll it into a ball between your palms. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a smaller circle, ensuring even thickness throughout.

      Baking

      The magic happens in the oven! Preheat your oven to 250°C and place the rolled-out pita bread on a baking tray. After just 6 minutes of baking, you’ll witness these doughy discs transform into golden-brown pockets of deliciousness.

      Serving

      Once your homemade pita bread is baked to perfection, resist the urge to devour them straight from the oven (although we won’t judge if you do!). Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. These versatile delights can be enjoyed on their own, stuffed with your favorite fillings, or paired with dips and spreads for a delightful snack or meal.
