Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles until just al dente according to package instructions. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cooked spinach, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle. Roll the noodle tightly from one end to the other to form a roll-up.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the lasagna roll-ups seam-side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the roll-ups and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious lasagna roll-ups!
