Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter, then mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown.

To prepare the lasagna noodles, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook them for about 6 minutes, or until they are slightly softened but still firm. Drain the noodles in a colander. To prevent the noodles from sticking together, immediately lay them flat on a baking sheet or cutting board that has been lightly oiled. Make sure the noodles are not touching each other. If you prefer not to boil the noodles, you can soak them in very warm (almost hot) water for 20-30 minutes until they are pliable.

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, prepare your baking dish. You can use a 2-quart casserole dish or a 7 x 11 inch baking dish. Grease the dish with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil. This will prevent the lasagna roll-ups from sticking to the dish during baking.
In a medium bowl, add the ricotta cheese, egg, basil pesto, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or a whisk to mix the ingredients together thoroughly until they are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This flavorful mixture will be the base of the filling for your lasagna roll-ups.

Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles on a clean work surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the pesto ricotta filling evenly over each noodle. Top the filling with the cooked mushrooms and shredded chicken, dividing the mixture evenly among the noodles. Sprinkle each noodle with about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese. Starting at one of the shorter ends, tightly roll up each lasagna noodle. Place the rolled-up noodles seam-down in the prepared baking dish. Make sure the rolls are snugly nestled together in the dish.

To make the garlic Parmesan sauce, melt butter in the same skillet used for the mushrooms. Whisk in flour, then gradually add milk, alternating with more flour, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, then simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour, 1¾ Cup Milk, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ tsp Garlic powder, 1 Pinch Salt, 1 Pinch Ground Black Pepper
Carefully pour the prepared garlic Parmesan sauce over the lasagna roll-ups in the baking dish, ensuring that each roll-up is coated in the sauce. Next, spread the basil pesto evenly over the top of the roll-ups. It's perfectly fine if some of the pesto mixes with the sauce; in fact, it adds an extra layer of flavor! Finally, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pesto.
1/4 cup Basil pesto , 3/4 cup Mozarella cheese, 1 Pinch Parmesan Cheese
Place the baking dish with the lasagna roll-ups in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. The cooking time may vary depending on your oven. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese and some freshly chopped basil or julienned basil, if desired.
