Mini chicken parmesan lasagna roll-ups baked in ramekins, and then decorated to look like snowmen make great meals for any winter day.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Add salt and noodles.
Boil for 12 minutes until the noodles are soft. (They will crisp a bit in the oven.)
Brush two cookie sheets with olive oil or olive oil spray.
Set noodles in a single layer on the pan.
Cut one 2 ½ inch circle out of one noodle then cut that noodle into 2 even strips.
Repeat with 3 more noodles.
Cut five 2 ½-inch circles out of the remaining four noodles.
Set the cut pieces back on the oil-covered pan.
Brush olive oil or spray olive oil in the bottom and up the sides of eight 6-ounce ramekins.
Wrap a noodle strip around the inside of a ramekin allowing the noodle to overlap slightly.
Set one round noodle in the bottom of the ramekin.
Repeat lining all 8 ramekins.
Stir together the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and salt.
Stir together the diced and thawed chicken fingers with the marinara sauce.
Evenly divide the chicken filling among the 8 ramekins.
Compact the filling into an even layer.
Set another round noodle on top of the chicken filling.
Evenly divide the cheese filling among the 8 ramekins.
Spread the filling in an even layer.
Set the final cut-out noodle on top of the cheese filling.
Spread a teaspoon of Alfredo sauce over top then sprinkle with ½ ounce of mozzarella cheese.
Cut olives in half. Use a bubble tea straw. a small round plunger or fondant cutter, or a large round pastry tip to cut ¼ inch round circles from the olives.
Cut the mini carrots into ¾ inch long pieces for the snowmen noses.
Arrange 2 olive eyes and one carrot nose on each lasagna.
Then arrange 5 olives to form a smile under the nose.
Bake for 22-26 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the lasagnas are heated through.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
You can assemble your lasagna snowmen and refrigerate them for up to 2 days before baking and serving.
