Lasagne Florets

 1 lb Colavita Lasagne, cooked al dente according to package directions
 12 oz package frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
 2 cups ricotta cheese
 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
 ½ cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese + additional for topping
 1 egg, beaten
 ¼ tsp grated nutmeg
 4 cups homemade marinara sauce
 salt & pepper, to taste
1

In a large mixing bowl combine the spinach, cheeses, egg, nutmeg, salt and pepper; mix until well blended. Take one lasagna noodle, spread with about 1-1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture; roll it up gently so the cheese mixture stays in place.

2

Continue until all the lasagna noodles are used. Place rolls in the refrigerator for about one hour or until the cheese becomes firm.

3

Taking one roll at a time gently cut in half down the middle (a serrated knife works best). Layer a large baking dish with two cups of marinara; place florets on top with the curly side up.

4

Cover with foil; bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake for 10 minutes more, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted through. Serve with the extra sauce and grated cheese.
