Ingredients

9 fresh lasagne sheets
1 cup mozarella cheese
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
500 g / 1 lb frozen spinach
500 g / 1 lb ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1/8 tsp finely grated nutmeg
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 onion
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
700 g / 24 oz tomato passata
1 1/2 cups water
1 handful basil leaves (optional)

Steps

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
Add the passata, water, salt, and pepper, and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.
Thaw and squeeze the spinach dry, then mix it with ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, egg, parmesan, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Cook the lasagne sheets in salted water for 3 minutes, then drain them carefully.
Heat the oven to 375 F, spread some sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, fill and roll each sheet, and place the rolls seam-side down.
Cover the rolls with the remaining sauce and mozzarella, then bake for 30 minutes until bubbling and the filling is firm.
