Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package lasagna noodles
  • 32 oz ricotta cheese
  • 4 cups fresh spinach steamed and chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided (1 cup for filling, 1/2 cup for topping)
  • 24 oz marinara sauce divided (about 1 cup for dish bottom and remaining for topping)

Equipment

  • 9 x 13-inch baking dish
  • Large Pot
  • wax paper or clean towel
  • Large Bowl
  • spoon or rubber spatula
  • steamer or saucepan for spinach
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay the noodles flat on wax paper or a clean towel to cool.
  3. Steam the fresh spinach until wilted, then chop and squeeze out excess moisture; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, chopped spinach, eggs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella until evenly mixed.
  5. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  6. Place about 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture (or enough to cover) onto each noodle and spread into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick. Roll each noodle tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Spoon additional marinara sauce over the top of each roll, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the dish.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rolls are heated through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed spinach; squeeze out excess water.
  • Allow rolls to rest briefly before serving for easier slicing.
  • Adjust salt to taste depending on cheese saltiness.
