Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Recipe
This is an easy lasagna recipe that anyone can make!
There is something so nostalgic about pasta dishes in general, but lasagna
specifically holds a special place in the hearts of many. For when you're
looking to switch up your lasagna routine, here is a great alternative to
the traditional.
This recipe takes the well-known elements of Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
and morphs them into a delicious lasagna.
Enjoy it as a weeknight meal that comes together in less than an hour, or
prepare the dish ahead of time and freeze it for baking later.
Just be sure to assemble the lasagna in a disposable aluminium baking
dish, cover the assembled lasagna dish tightly with foil, and store inside
a large freezer bag in the freezer for up to three months.
Thaw in the fridge when ready to eat and bake according to recipe
instructions!

In a large skillet over medium-high heat add butter, garlic, and onion

Add the spinach and 1 tablespoon of water and stir until it wilts about
1 minute.
