Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound Italian sausage bulk - mild or hot, or a mix
  • 3 cups marinara sauce I used one 25-ounce jar
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 8 ounces freshly grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces whole-wheat lasagna noodles boiled according to package directions and separated so they don't stick together

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 
  2. In a medium skillet, cook the sausage while breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and discard fat, add in the marinara sauce, and heat it all the way through. Leave simmering on the stove until ready to use.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, 3/4 cup of the parmesan, spinach, and salt.
  4. Spread half the sauce on the bottom of the baking dish (we used 9x13"). Pat the lasagna noodles dry (if still wet), and one-by-one, add a heaping 1/4 cup of cheese filling to the end, roll them up, and place them seam side down on top of the sauce. 
  5. Top rolls with the rest of the sauce (covering all exposed noodles so that they don't dry out) and the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake until bubbly and heated all the way through, about 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil, turn the broiler up to high, and bake another 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese on top is all the way melted and golden brown. Let cool slightly and serve.
