Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a light coating of olive oil.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1½ cups of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, thawed spinach, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well combined.
If using ground beef or Italian sausage, brown it in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, and mix it into the marinara sauce, if desired.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Take one lasagna noodle and spread 3-4 tablespoons of the ricotta filling evenly over its surface. Roll it up tightly from one end to the other and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the lasagna roll-ups, ensuring they are all evenly coated. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
