Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles

- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo wing sauce. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, softened cream cheese, and ricotta cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of the ranch-cheese mixture at the bottom of the baking dish.
Step 7
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the mixture, overlapping slightly.
Step 8
Spread one-third of the buffalo chicken mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the remaining ranch-cheese mixture.
Step 9
Sprinkle one cup of mozzarella cheese and half a cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the layer.
Step 10
Repeat the process two more times: noodles, buffalo chicken, ranch-cheese mixture, and cheeses, finishing with the cheeses on top.
Step 11
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 12
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Step 13
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 14
Garnish with sliced scallions and serve warm. Enjoy!
