My family loves pasta.  Like, seriously loves pasta!  I love the convenience of many pasta dishes too…especially lasagna because it can be assembled ahead of time and cooked later.  Plus, lasagna is one of those dishes that gets a little better the day after too.  The problem: I am not really a traditional lasagna lover so I tend to skip it when making my weekly menu plan.  The other day, I was looking at how crazy busy our week is going to be and decided lasagna would be the perfect thing to fill one of our empty days.  I stopped on the way home from getting my haircut and grabbed the ingredients I needed to make No Boil Barbecue Chicken Alfredo Lasagna.

What You’ll Need:
3 chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups barbecue sauce
1 box Barilla No Boil Lasagna Noodles
1 cup Barilla Three Cheese Pasta Sauce
1/4 cup butter
4 oz cream cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup milk
3 oz grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups Four Cheese Cheddar Blend shredded cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Let’s Make It:
1)  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Spray an oven safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.  Add chicken breasts and cover with 1 cup barbecue sauce.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.  Shred chicken. {Feel free to use shredded rotisserie chicken tossed with barbecue sauce instead.}

2)  To make the Alfredo sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Add cream cheese and garlic powder; stirring with  whisk until smooth.  Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Stir in Parmesan and let stand for 2 minutes to thicken.

3)  Mix 3/4 cup Alfredo sauce with 3/4 cup Four Cheese Marinara sauce.  Pour 1/2 cup of this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish and spread out.

4)  Layer lasagna noodles on top of the sauce mixture.  Top with 1/3 of the shredded chicken.  Cover chicken with 1/3 of the shredded Cheddar cheese and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.  Top with 1/3 cup of barbecue sauce.  Repeat for a total of three layers when a set of noodles are you top layer.

5)  Cover top layer of noodles with remaining 1 cup of the Alfredo and Four Cheese sauce mixture.  Cover with remaining shredded cheese Cheddar cheese.  Spread remaining 1/4 cup Four Cheese Pasta sauce on of top of mixture. Cover with remaining Mozzarella cheese.  Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 30-25 minutes.  Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

This dish is so delicious and definitely takes lasagna outside of the traditional noodles and tomato sauce box.  Plus, it can be assembled ahead and of time and held for a day or two before cooking or even frozen.  Of course, I love making lasagna dishes into rolls so I made a few of those too using the more traditional Barilla lasagna noodles.  Just put a single layer of the ingredients on the noodle and roll.  Place in the dish and cover with sauces and cheese before baking for 20-25 minutes.

Right now, Barilla is offering a $1.00 off a box of their lasagna noodles {or tortellini} and one jar of pasta sauce.  That is a great deal to help you get the items needed to make a delicious dinner for your family and bring #JoytotheTable.
