Bring a large pot of water to boil; throw in a good pinch of salt and add your lasagna noodles. Cook until al dente according to package directions. (After draining, drizzle with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking and drape them over the colander or lay them flat on a baking sheet.)

Simmer

Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese just until melted and the sauce is smooth. Take off the heat.

Combine

Make the Filling In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg, and 1 cup of mozzarella until combined. Fold in the chicken and ¼ cup of the Alfredo sauce until combined.

Spread
