PARTNER POST: May 26 is National Pinot Grigio Day. We’re celebrating with Cavit Wines by sharing refreshing spring and summer recipes that pair perfectly with Pinot Grigio.
Chicken and Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups are loaded with shredded chicken, spinach, and ricotta and topped with alfredo sauce to be your new favorite weeknight dinner.
I really love pasta. I’m always looking for new and creative ways to make easy dinners and that usually includes pasta. One thing I really love, lasagna. It’s a lot of work to make one from scratch. But I have a faster and easier way to get everything you love about lasagna for dinner. These Chicken Spinach Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups are so easy to make & present so beautifully. They are perfect for serving on a busy night or for a house full of guests.
We made these the other night in two batches. You see, the hubs was going to be home later than usual. So I made one tray for the kids to enjoy at our regular dinner time and another that would be ready later on for us adults to enjoy together. It was the perfect opportunity to pull out a bottle of Cavit Pinot Grigio since we were dining just the two of us. 
I had a couple bottles on hand because May 26th is the first National Pinot Grigio Day. So we had one with this dinner ad we will be enjoying the other on Friday.
The chicken, spinach and pasta were perfectly complimented by the wine. It was a great dinner that was easy to make. I love that I can make the rolls ahead of time & refrigerate until I’m ready for them. This makes serving these for a gathering super easy.
