Ingredients
  

9 lasagna noodles

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (cremini or button)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp olive oil

1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Lasagna Noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean towel or a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

      Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the chopped mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are softened and browned. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

        Make the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.

          Combine Filling: Once the mushroom and spinach mixture has cooled a bit, fold it into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.

            Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Take one cooked lasagna noodle and place it flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture along the noodle, and then carefully roll it up from one end to the other. Place the roll seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining noodles and filling.

              Top with Sauce and Cheese: Once all rolls are in place, pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

                Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

                  Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
