Three Cheese Lasagne Roll-Ups

             12 lasagna noodles, any flavor

Filling:   1 carton (500g) ricotta or cottage cheese
               2 cups mozzarella cheese
            1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
               2 eggs, slightly beaten
               1 package (300g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed,
                  well drained
            1/4 teaspoon salt
            1/4 teaspoon pepper
            1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Sauce:     1 tablespoon olive oil
                1 medium onion, chopped
                2 cloves garlic, minced
                1 can (27.5 oz.) pasta sauce 
             1/4 teaspoon pepper
             1/4 teaspoon basil
                1 tablespoon minced parsley

Cook lasagna in large quantity of boiling water, until just barely tender; drain off water; rinse in cold water to stop cooking.  Allow lasagna to stand in cold water to prevent pasta sticking together.

Combine ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheesed; add eggs, spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg; mix well.  Set aside.

Heat oil in saucepan, add onion and garlic and cook until tender.  Add tomato sauce, pepper and basil.

Pat lasagna strips dry.  Spread cheese mixture evenly on each lasagna strip; roll up each strip.

Spread 1/3 tomato sauce in a 9x13 inch baking dish.  Arrange roll-ups seam-side down in sauce.  Top with remaining sauce.

Bake, covered, at 350 F. for 25 minutes.  Remove cover and bake 5 minutes longer.  Sprinkle with parsley and serve.  Makes 12 roll-ups
