Steps
Sequence Step
1Get a large pot of water boiling with a dash of salt. When it comes to a boil add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente (sofr but not soggy... about 12-15 minutes). When they are finished cooking, drain in a colander.
2While the noodles are boiling prepare the filling. Thaw the package of frozen spinach in the microwave and then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Combine the spinach in a bowl with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3When the noodles and filling are ready to go preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a glass casserole dish by spraying with non-stick spray.
4On a clean surface, lay out a few noodles at a time. Place a few tablespoons of filling on each noodle and spread to cover from edge to edge. The filling does not need to be thick because once the noodle is rolled up it will be compounded. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges of the noodles.
5Roll the noodles up and place in the casserole dish. Repeat until all of your filling is gone. Pour the marinara sauce over the rolled noodles making sure to cover all surfaces. The sauce will keep the noodles moist and soft while baking.
6Cover the dish in foil and bake for 30-45 minutes depending on oven.
