# Instructions:
01 -
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.).

03 -
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.
04 -
Spread a 1/3 cup of the mixture onto the length of each lasagna noodle and roll up in a jelly-roll fashion.
05 -
Arrange rolls, seam side down, in the baking dish. Top with remaining 2 cups of marinara sauce, and remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
06 -
Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 35 minutes or until cheese has melted and the inside is warmed through.
07 -
Sprinkle with some additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve right away and enjoy!.
