Spinach-Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups image

If desired the chicken may be replaced with cooked sausage meat, also the recipe may be doubled to 16 rolls --- make certain that the cooked chicken is very finely chopped --- prep time does not include cooking the noodles, the complete recipe may be prepared and refrigerated up to 24 hours in advance --- this is very good!
