Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
This recipe starts by preparing a chicken spinach meat sauce made from ground dark meat chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, fresh spinach, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a Sicilian herb sauce. The combination is simmered to meld flavors. Fresh lasagna pasta sheets are laid out, spread with this meat sauce, and sprinkled with grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella. Another pasta sheet is layered on top, coated again with sauce, then rolled into logs. Chilling these logs makes them firmer and easier to slice.
The chilled rolls are cut into pinwheel slices approximately three-quarters to one inch thick. These roll-ups allow individual portions featuring the creamy cheeses and herby chicken filling encased in tender fresh pasta. The recipe finishes by topping with ball of burrata cheese and garnishing with oregano, adding creamy richness and fragrant herbaceous notes.
The dish offers an alternative presentation to traditional layered lasagna and makes serving straightforward. It can be paired with a simple salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
The notes offer a useful tip for those who cannot find fresh pasta sheets: boiling dried lasagna noodles until just before al dente and cooling them allows rolling for this preparation without breakage.
Ingredients
- 4 heets lasagna pasta roughly 11x8 inches, fresh
- ½ jar Sicilian herb sauce Vero Gusto brand
- 1 recipe chicken spinach meat sauce recipe below
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 large ball burrata cheese for topping
- oregano for garnish
For the Chicken Spinach Mixture
- ½ jar Sicilian herb sauce Vero Gusto brand
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 lb chicken ground, dark meat
- 1 lb spinach fresh
- salt Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
For the Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add the ground meat and sauté for 8-10 minutes until cooked. Add the spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add the Vero Gusto Sicilian Herb sauce into the pan and stir to combine. Reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes.
To Assemble
- Lay out 2 of the large pasta sheets on a clean countertop. Spread a thin layer of the Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce on each sheet of pasta followed by parmesan and mozzarella. Place another sheet of pasta on top. Spread another thin layer of the Chicken Spinach Meat Sauce evenly across the second pasta sheet, leaving one edge uncovered with sauce in order to seal the roll closed. Roll both sets of the layered pastas into 2 logs and place in the refrigerator to chill. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Once cool, slice the lasagna log into pinwheels, about ¾ - 1 inch thick. Spoon some of the Vero Gusto Sicilian Herb sauce into a baking dish to cover the entire bottom of the dish. Lay lasagna pinwheels into the dish, cut sides facing up, until the dish is full. Place in the oven and bake for about fifteen minutes or until pasta edges are golden brown. Top with a tiny bit of the burrata strew across and some fresh oregano. Serve family style
Notes
- If fresh pasta sheets are unavailable, boil dried lasagna noodles until just shy of al dente, then cool before rolling.
