Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna sheets for 2 minutes less than package instructions for al dente texture. Drain and lay them out flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the spinach-mushroom mixture to a bowl. Stir in the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
On each lasagna sheet, spread an even layer of the filling mixture, leaving a small gap at one end. Roll each sheet tightly into a log.
Pour half of the tomato passata into the base of the prepared baking dish. Slice each lasagna roll into 2 or 3 pieces and arrange them upright in the dish over the sauce.
Pour the remaining tomato passata over the rolls, ensuring they are well-covered. Sprinkle dried oregano on top, followed by grated mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the exposed pasta edges are slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Spinach Mushroom Rotolo!
