- Mix the spinach in the ricotta mixture, mix well to combine.
- Spread the mixture onto a cooked lasagna noodle; roll up.
- Repeat with the remaining noodles.
- Lay the rolled noodles into a prepared greased baking dish, seam-side down.
- Cover with a layer of marinara sauce (you do not have to cover the rolls completely with the sauce).
- Sprinkle with Parmesan chees (any amount desired).
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- *NOTE* if desired sprinkle grated Mozzeralla cheese over the rolls the last 10 minutes of baking time.
