Spinach Lasgna Rolls

9 lasagna noodles, cooked

10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped, onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
15 oz container of ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 egg
salt and pepper
24 oz Marinara Sauce (I like to use the brand Classico- Tomato Basil)

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spread about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish.
2. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, Mozzarella, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
3. In a small sauce pan heat the oil and cook onion for about 5 minutes, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Mix the cooked onions and garlic with the spinach and cheese mixture.
4. Place a piece of wax paper or foil on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over all the noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
5. Spread marinara sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with remaining mozzarella cheese. Tightly place foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts.
6. Makes 9 rolls.
