1 large egg

1 cup shredded mozzarella , divided

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

10 ounce package frozen spinach ,thawed and

squeezed dry

2 cloves garlic , minced

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil; throw in a good pinch

of salt and add your lasagna noodles. Cook until al

dente according to package directions. (After draining,

drizzle with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking and

drape them over the colander or lay them flat on a

baking sheet.)

marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.

3. In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg, 1/2 cup of

mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, garlic, Italian seasoning,

salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until combined.

4. Spread a 1/3 cup of the mixture onto the length of each

lasagna noodle and roll up in a jelly-roll fashion.

5. Arrange rolls, seam side down, in the baking dish. Top

with remaining 2 cups of marinara sauce, and

remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.

6. Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 35 minutes or

until cheese has melted and the inside is warmed

through.

7. Sprinkle with some additional Parmesan, if desired.

Serve right away and enjoy
