Provolone is often less expensive while still melty.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino is usually a cheaper alternative with a similar flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

1

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.

2

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

3

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4

Add spinach to the skillet; cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes; remove from heat.

5

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, egg, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

6

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

7

Lay out a lasagna noodle; spread a portion of the chicken mixture along the noodle's length; roll it up tightly.

8

Place the rolled noodle seam-side down in the baking dish; repeat with remaining noodles and filling.

9

Pour remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.

10

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes; remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

11

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
