Ingredients

• 12 oz box lasagna noodles
• 15 oz ricotta cheese
• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
5. Distribute the ricotta and spinach mixture evenly along each lasagna noodle, leaving a small margin at the edges to prevent spilling during rolling.
6. Carefully roll up the noodles tightly to ensure the filling remains inside and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
7. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups, ensuring each is adequately covered.
8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the roll-ups.
9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes after baking to set the layers for easier serving.
