Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Large egg
• 10 ounces Frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 cups Marinara sauce
• 0.5 pounds Ground beef or Italian sausage (optional)
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
