For the Filling

  • 4 cups Fresh Spinach Leaves Kale or Swiss chard can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 cup Crème Fraiche Ricotta or sour cream can be swapped in based on preference.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Half-and-half makes for a lighter version.
For the Cheese Mixture
  • 1 cup Asiago Shredded Cheese Parmesan or Pecorino Romano can be used as a substitute.

For the Sauce

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil, blending until smooth. Gradually add grated Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, and salt while processing.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil, then add the lean ground chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Toss in fresh spinach leaves and cook until just wilted.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken and spinach mixture with heavy whipping cream, crème fraiche, and the prepared basil pesto. Stir in shredded Asiago and mozzarella cheeses until well-blended.
  4. Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat and spread a generous portion of the filling along each noodle, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the assembled lasagna rolls with remaining pesto and sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
