Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lasagna sheets
- 2 cups Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 5 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Cook the lasagna sheets in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to cool.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the spinach with a little water (if needed) to wilt it. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and chop finely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, low-fat ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well blended to form the filling.
Step 5
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling evenly onto each lasagna sheet. Spread it to cover the sheet, leaving a small border at one end. Roll up each sheet tightly, starting from the filled side.
Step 6
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the rolled lasagna sheets seam-side down in the dish.
Step 7
Top the rolls with the remaining marinara sauce, spreading it evenly to coat. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
Step 8
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh basil, if desired.
