Smooth and Creamy Semi-Homemade Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups
These Semi-Homemade Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups are a dream come true.
This dish makes a beautiful presentation and will give the impression that you have spent all day in the kitchen. Don’t you love it when you can find a recipe that lets you cut corners in preparation time while still creating a delicious meal. I call it Semi-Homemade because it spares you the more time consuming parts like preparing a sauce and cooking a chicken. And then you just get to add the easy to prepare ingredients like asparagus and lasagna noodles.
This recipe is very flexible and you can always switch to a tomato sauce if you prefer. If you decide to go with the Alfredo Sauce, please don’t just get any old sauce. Find one that you really like. If you don’t like the taste when you sample it, you’re not going to like it poured all over your lasagna roll-ups either. I did some research for us and found this taste test.
Impress your family and friends with this delicious and beautifully prepared meal.
