Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, eggs, spinach, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the white sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the mixture thickens. Stir in 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Lay a cooked lasagna noodle flat. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly across the noodle. Roll it up tightly, starting from one end. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the rolled lasagna noodles seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the rolls, followed by the heavy cream and the prepared white sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
