This garlicky, creamy chicken Alfredo lasagne is such a delightful twist on a regular tomato lasagne, it’ll soon be on high rotation in your weeknight meal plan. - Greer Worsley

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1kg chicken mince
1 large brown onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
900ml thickened cream
2 cups (180g) parmesan, grated
1/3 cup chopped herbs (parsley, chives, basil)
250g instant lasagne sheets
120g baby spinach
2 cups (200g) grated mozzarella or pizza blend
375g ricotta

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. In a large frypan, heat 1 tbsp oil and cook mince until it changes from pink to white, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season well with salt and pepper. Transfer to a colander and allow liquid to drain away.
Step 2

Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in the same frypan and cook onion and garlic for 4 minutes until soft. Return par-cooked chicken mince to pan and mix well. Pour in cream, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir through 1 cup grated parmesan and the chopped herbs.
Step 3

Spoon a little of the mixture into the base of a large lasagne dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, breaking them if necessary to make them fit. Distribute half the spinach leaves over the lasagne sheets and top with half the remaining chicken mixture, including a good quantity of the creamy liquid. Sprinkle over half a cup of grated mozzarella. Repeat with a second layer of lasagne sheets, spinach, chicken and mozzarella. Finish with a top layer of lasagne sheets.
Step 4

Mix together ricotta and remaining cup of grated parmesan. Spread this mixture over the top layer of lasagne sheets - an offset spatula helps to make it smooth and even. Sprinkle over remaining cup of grated mozzarella. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
