Instructions
- Cook Spinach: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and chop finely.

- Assemble and Bake: Pour the sauce over the pasta rolls in the baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
