Ingredients
Ground Beef
1/4 lb (browned and drained)
Onions
3 tablespoons (chopped)
Pasta Sauce
1 (14 ounce) jar (divided)
Egg White
1 (beaten)
Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup (fresh)
Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons (grated)
Oregano
1 teaspoon (dried)
Mozzarella Cheese
3/4 cup (shredded, divided)
Baby Spinach Leaves
1 cup (washed)
Lasagna Noodles

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onions over medium-high heat until the beef is browned. Drain the excess fat, and stir in half a cup of the pasta sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white until foamy. Add the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, oregano, and half a cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
3
Spread three tablespoons of pasta sauce evenly in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.
4
Take one cooked lasagna noodle and spread a quarter of the ricotta mixture along its length. Layer on a quarter cup of the baby spinach leaves and a quarter of the beef mixture. Starting at one short end, carefully roll the noodle tightly but loosely enough to avoid tearing.
5
Place the rolled-up noodle seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining three noodles, arranging them snugly in the dish.
6
Top the roll-ups with the remaining pasta sauce, then cover the dish with aluminum foil.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
8
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Beef and Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups!
