Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 40 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry (as dry as you can get it)

• 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
• 2 cups marinara sauce (see my recipe posted on zaar!)

Recipe

• 1 set oven to 375 degrees.
• 2 squeeze-dry the thawed spinach very well, (is is very important to make sure there is no moisture left in the spinach, as this will make the mixture soggy).
• 3 mix the spinach with the melted butter; set aside.
• 4 in a bowl, mix the ricotta, grated mozza cheese, 2 eggs, flour, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg, mix thoroughly.
• 5 mix the spinach in the ricotta mixture, mix well to combine.
• 6 spread the mixture onto a cooked lasagna noodle; roll up.
• 7 repeat with the remaining noodles.
• 8 lay the rolled noodles into a prepared greased baking dish, seam-side down.
• 9 cover with a layer of marinara sauce (you do not have to cover the rolls completely with the sauce).
• 10 sprinkle with parmesan chees (any amount desired).
• 11 bake for 30 minutes.
• 12 *note* if desired sprinkle grated mozzeralla cheese over the rolls the last 10 minutes of baking time.
