Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, chop the spinach finely and mix it with the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
In another bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spread the beef mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the beef rectangle, leaving a 1/2 inch border all around.
Carefully roll the beef rectangle into a log, using the parchment paper to help guide and tighten the roll.
Seal the edges by pinching them together and place the roll seam side down on the baking sheet.
Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the beef roll.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked and the top is nicely browned.
Allow the beef roll to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
