1. **Cook the Lasagna Noodles:**
– Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, laying the noodles flat on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
2. **Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:**
– In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
– Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
– Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
– Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
– Season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove from heat.
3. **Make the Filling:**
– In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. **Assemble the Roll-Ups:**
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish.
– Lay a cooked lasagna noodle flat and spread a portion of the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly over the noodle.
– Roll up the lasagna noodle and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
– Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
5. **Top with Sauce and Cheese:**
– Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the lasagna roll-ups, ensuring they are well covered.
– Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
