Optional ground turkey or beef (browned) for a heartier version.Method: boil noodles until just pliable; pat dry. Mix ricotta + mozzarella + Parm + egg + garlic + spinach + salt/pepper (+ pinch chili if using). Spread a stripe over each noodle; roll into spirals. Spoon marinara in a 9×13; nestle roll-ups cut-side up, tight like rows of books. Top with more sauce and a little mozzarella/Parm. Bake at 375°F until bubbly and lightly browned (about 25–30 min). Rest 5–10 min.Serve: 2–3 roll-ups per plate with extra warm marinara; finish with basil ribbons and cracked black pepper.Include: yield 4–6; total time ~45–55 minutes; exact amounts (cups/grams); step-by-step; doneness cues (edges browned, cheese melted).Swaps: vegetarian by default (skip meat add-in); gluten-free (GF lasagna noodles); dairy-free (DF ricotta/cheese); add-ins (mushrooms or roasted zucchini).Make-ahead: assemble, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; bake +5–10 min; freezer directions (wrap well, bake from frozen).Plating: tidy spirals with red ‘margins’ of sauce and green basil ‘highlights’—a stack of edible chapters, fully home-kitchen accessible"
