Ingredients
- 1 package (9 ounces) no-boil lasagna noodles

- 1 jar (15 ounces) alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, alfredo sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Spread a thin layer of the chicken and alfredo sauce mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, covering the entire bottom of the dish. Break noodles if needed to fit.
- Spread half of the spinach mixture evenly over the noodles.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the spinach.
- Repeat the layers: chicken and alfredo sauce mixture, lasagna noodles, spinach mixture, and cheeses.
- Top with a final layer of lasagna noodles and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
