A delightful twist on the classic lasagna roll-ups, incorporating spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking, so don't skip this step.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Drain any excess fat from the beef for a lighter dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
Mixing thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Lay a lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the cheese mixture over the noodle, then top with a portion of the beef and spinach mixture.
Don't overfill the noodles to make rolling easier.
Roll up the noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
Arrange the rolls snugly to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
Pour the marinara sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Covering the rolls with sauce helps keep them moist.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
Cover the dish with foil for the first 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Serve hot with a side salad and garlic bread. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with fresh basil for an added touch of flavor.
