Lasagna Roll Ups

Its  a nice alternative to lasagna.  Kinda like a Italian Enchiladas.
Let's start with the sauce. 
1 28 oz of crushed tomatoes
1 onion
6ish mushrooms (even if you don't like mushrooms dice them small, they add nice flavor)
1 can of tomato paste
1 pound of sausage
1/4 teaspoon of red peppers
3-4 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
3ish tablespoons of italian seasoning
fresh basil would be great but I forgot to get it at the store
Brown meat, finely chopped mushrooms, and onion in a medium sauce pan over medium heat until meat is brown and onions and mushrooms are soft
 
Zest in garlic, add tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer
Stir in seasonings and simmer for about 20 min.  Add some water if it is too thick
Now on to the filling
1 box of lasagna noodles
baby spinach
2 eggs
16 oz of ricotta cheese
1/2 cup of grated Paresam
mozzarella for topping
While sauce is simmering cook noodles.  They need to be hot to roll up.  Now start mixing filling.  Take ricotta and thoroughly mix in eggs and then add in Parmesan and some salt and pepper
Drain noodles.  Spoon a little sauce to the bottom of a pan.  Spread some of the ricotta on noodles and the add some spinach.
Repeat the process until all the noodles and filling are gone.  Pour sauce over roll ups. Sprinkle with mozzarella.  Bake at 375 for 30 min and then turn of broiler for a couple min to brown cheese.  Be sure to watch or you will burn it. You can freeze it and then bake it longer until it is bubbly.
