Instructions
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 12 lasagna noodles and prepare per the instructions on the package. Cook to al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles.
In a medium-sized bowl, add 1–15 oz. container of ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp. Minced garlic, 1 Tablespoon pesto sauce, ½ tsp. coarse black pepper and salt. Mix well.
Add one large egg and mix together. Add drained spinach and 2 cups of shredded or chopped chicken. Mix until well blended.
On a flat surface lay lasagna noodles. Place 2-3 large heaping tablespoons down each lasagna noodle. Using the back of the spoon, spread the filling down the length of each noodle.
Starting at one end, gently roll noodles toward the other end. Place seam side down in the prepared 9 x 13 baking dish. Continue until all noodles are stuffed, rolled, and placed in a baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt ½ cup of butter. Add softened creamed cheese. Whisk until combined. Add milk. Add grated Parmesan cheese, white wine. Mix until smooth and creamy. If necessary, add additional milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Cover with prepared Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella.
Bake in preheated 350° oven for 35-40 minutes until sauce is bubbly, cheese is melted, and edges are turning golden brown.
