Chicken Alfredo Rolls

As promised here is the very good recipe with the Alfredo sauce I was talking about last night! 

I made these just last night and Jay could barely stop eating to leave me enough for lunch. Although I have to admit these weren't bad for lunch but they were definitely better fresh. 

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (you can do whatever, I had some precooked chicken in the freezer so that's what I used)

2 cups Alfredo sauce (if you use the recipe from yesterday, one recipe will do)

9 lasagna noodles

oregano

Mozzarella cheese

1. Cook the lasagna noodles, you can make the recipe for the Alfredo sauce at this point or just use a bought one too. 

2. Cover the bottom of your buttered oven-proof dish (I used my 9x9 pyrex) with Alfredo sauce.

3. Once the pasta are cooked rinse them under cold water and pat them dry. 

4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce on one lasagna noodle, sprinkle with Oregano (if you don't use my recipe for the sauce, you can add garlic powder or salt at this point). 

5. Put chicken on the lasagna noodles and roll (it's more like fold).

6. Place seem down, squeeze them in the dish. 

7. Pour the sauce over the rolls and put the grated mozzarella cheese on top. 

8. Put in the oven to melt the cheese. I usually start by putting it at 400 while I do the dishes and then once I am done I put it on broil until the cheese is started to brown a little bit*

* Funny story I actually burnt mine because I left them on broil too long while I was on facebook...haha..I will update the picture when I make them again.

Scalloped potatoes

So a few days ago when I posted the prosciutto brie pasta, I realized that I never made good on my promise of posting my scalloped potatoes recipe. Oh and they are just so good! I only discovered scalloped potatoes after moving out, I guess my mom never made them, but I had been missing out! 

Here is the easiest yummiest recipes

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 1/4 cups shredded cheese (I had on hand cheddar and mozzarella but any kind would do)
5 large potatoes, thinly sliced (I used a mandolin to do it, so much easier and you're not afraid of slicing off your finger with the last few slices)
*If you like onions, go ahead a put some in there

Preheat oven to 375. In the meantime, make the sauce for the potatoes. Melt butter (medium heat should do, we don't want to cook it) in a saucepan (if you are putting onions, this is where you would cook them). Stir in the flour, add the milk and garlic. keep stirring until it thickens (I never changed from medium heat). Stir in 2 cups of the cheese and stir until it melts. Remove from heat. 

In a buttered or sprayed oven proof dish (I used my 9x9 Pyrex), layer the sliced potatoes. Once the potatoes are all layered, pour the sauce on top. Give your dish a little shake, this will allow the sauce to disperse. Add remaining cheese on top and put in the oven for about an hour, until is is brown and bubbly. I looked at it after about 50 minutes and mine was ready but I know my oven tends to heat a little hotter. 

Enjoy!
