Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and lay flat on a towel.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cooked spinach (make sure to drain any excess liquid), egg, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
On a clean work surface, place a lasagna noodle and spread about 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodle. Roll it up tightly starting from one end.
Place the rolled noodle seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired. Enjoy your delicious lasagna rolls!
