2 tbl extra-virgin olive oil
1 pkt frozen chopped spinach - (10 oz) defrosted, and
squeezed dry
Coarse salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
(or the equivalent of freshly grated)
2 cup part skim ricotta
8 x curly-edge lasagna noodles cooked al dente
1 cup fat-free chicken broth
8 oz Gorgonzola crumbled

Instructions:
Instructions: In a medium skillet over moderate heat, saute mushrooms, chopped onions, and garlic in oil until mushrooms give off their juices and darken and onions are tender, about 7 or 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; the salt will help draw water out of the vegetables as they cook.

Add dry chopped spinach to the pan and heat through for 1 minute. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg. Add ricotta and stir into mixture to heat cheese through, 1 minute longer. Remove pan from heat but leave in the warm skillet.

Heat broth in a small pan over moderate heat. Melt Gorgonzola into broth and bring liquid to a bubble. Stir in cream and thicken sauce 2 minutes.

Place cooked lasagna noodles on a large work surface or cutting board. Spread lasagna noodles with a layer of spinach-mushroom filling. Roll up pasta and arrange the 8 bundles in a shallow casserole dish. Pour warm sauce over roll-ups and top with mozzarella. Place casserole under broiler to melt cheese. Serve with Steamed Asparagus Tips and Roasted Tomatoes.

Steamed Asparagus Tips: While you boil your lasagna noodles, place fresh asparagus tips in a small colander over the boiling water in the pasta pot. Place a lid on the colander and steam asparagus while you are cooking your pasta for 4 minutes or until tips are just tender.

Roasted Tomatoes: Split 4 vine ripe tomatoes across the center and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Broil tomatoes.

Serve along side your completed casserole. Top with any fresh herb you have on hand: basil, thyme, or rosemary.
