Notes

Tips for the Best Alfredo Lasagna

✅ Use rotisserie chicken – It saves time and adds great flavor.
✅ Let it rest before slicing – Helps the layers stay intact.
✅ For extra creaminess – Add a little more Alfredo sauce on top before baking.
✅ Make it ahead – Assembles beautifully in advance for an easy meal.
✅ Use fresh mozzarella – It melts better and creates a gooier top layer.
