Instructions:

1. Cook the meat

   In a skillet, brown the ground beef with garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.

2. Make the filling

   In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, and cooked meat. Mix until well combined.

3. Prepare noodles

   Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, then lay them flat on a sheet of parchment or wax paper to cool slightly.

4. Assemble roll-ups

   Spread about ¼ cup of filling onto each noodle. Roll up gently, starting from the short end.

5. Layer and bake

   Spread 1 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the roll-ups seam side down. Spoon the remaining marinara over the top and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.

6. Bake

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
