2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped) or 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
1 egg
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Preheat the oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Cook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them flat to avoid sticking.
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, egg, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Assemble the roll-ups: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the baking dish. Spread the spinach-ricotta filling on each noodle and roll it up. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Top with sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups, then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to brown the cheese.
Serve: Let the roll-ups cool slightly, then serve. Garnish with fresh basil or extra Parmesan if desired.
Makes 9-12 individual roll-ups, depending on pan size.
Customize by adding ground meat, mushrooms, or extra herbs.
For a thicker filling, add sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
