Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the Noodles. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat lasagna noodles and cook them for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain them well and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Spinach Filling. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  3. Step 3: Make the Cheese Mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg white, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cooled spinach mixture until everything is well combined.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Rolls. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take one lasagna noodle, place a generous amount of the cheese and spinach filling along one end, and roll it up tightly. Place the roll seam-side down in the sauce. Repeat with the remaining noodles.
  5. Step 5: Top with Sauce and Cheese. Once all the lasagna rolls are in the baking dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
  6. Step 6: Bake. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
