Spinach Lasagna Roll Up's

I wanted to share this awesome and easy recipe. Spinach lasagna Roll ups. They are easier to make then they look I promise. My husband, daughter and I enjoyed these so much and so did all our friends and family who got to taste one or two : ). I am looking for new ingredients to make different ones for next time, they are really fun to make and  ingredients you can use are endless.  I use homemade marinara meat sauce but you can use any kind you like, using ready made marinara will save you some time : ) I hope you'll enjoy my recipe and give it a try. Let me know how much you enjoyed it when you make it.

Love Jen

Recipe
- 9 Lasagna noodles, I used the whole box, it depends on the size of your baking dish
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese, optional
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper
- 32 oz tomato sauce, I used homemade meat marinara sauce. This is optional
- 1 lb Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Combine spinach, ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add some sauce to the bottom of the 9 x 12 baking dish. you can also add tomato sauce in this step if you like.

Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and spray with cooking spray so they wont stick to paper. lay out the noodles (make sure noodles are dry). Spread Spinach mixture over each piece of pasta until you have the desired amount (do not overfill) roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Poor sauce evenly over the noodles  in the baking dish, use the rest of the mozzarella cheese to top each noodle. Place a piece of foil over baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until cheese melts, and serve.
