Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles, rinse with cold water, and lay them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 3–4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then chop the spinach finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan, the egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Take one lasagna noodle and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the spinach-ricotta mixture evenly across the noodle. Starting from one end, carefully roll the noodle up to form a spiral. Place the roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
Once all the rolls are in the dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top of the lasagna rolls, making sure they are well covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and the remaining 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the rolls.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread.
