Easy Fresh Pasta & Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

For the longest time I have wanted pasta maker attachment for my KitchenAid mixer for years but just didn't have the money to get one. This last year I finally got one! My parents bought me one for my birthday!!! Right after I got it my husband got his new job and we got busy with moving and such so no time to test it out... Well today I decided to try it out! I have never made fresh pasta, so this was going to be a pretty big task for me but I was ready! I figured that I would pair it with one of my husbands favorite pasta dishes Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls...Lasagna noodles rolled up with alfredo sauce, mozzarella and shredded chicken the are pretty much amazing. So for the pasta I found this pin. It was helpful, but kind of annoying that I had to keep hitting the "next" button...In the end it worked out. I will also put the recipe for the alfredo sauce and directions for the lasagna rolls because they are so awesome that it would be unfair of me to keep it a secret!.
