Steps
You’ll need: 9-by-13-inch baking dish, large pot, large bowl, aluminum foil, instant-read thermometer.
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Cook the noodles in boiling salted water by the package directions. Drain and lay flat on oiled foil so they do not stick.
- Mix the ricotta, spinach, egg, Parmesan, basil, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Spread 1 cup marinara in the baking dish. Spread about 3 tablespoons filling along each noodle and roll it up. Set them seam side down in the dish.
- Spoon the rest of the sauce over and sprinkle with mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes more, until bubbling and 165°F in the center.
