Place a saucepan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add onion stirring often until soft and golden. Add minced garlic and stir 1 min, or until fragrant.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a light boil then reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 15 minutes.
Finally, stir in fresh basil then turn off the heat.
For the Roll Ups
Preheat oven to 350º. Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in lemon zest and remove from heat.
In a large bowl, stir ricotta, egg, and 1/4 cup Parmesan until combined then season with salt and pepper.
Spread ricotta mixture onto one side of each lasagna noodle. Top with marinara and cooked spinach, then sprinkle with mozzarella and roll up tightly.
In a square baking pan, spoon a layer of marinara on bottom. Add the roll-ups and spoon more sauce onto each roll-up. Sprinkle more mozzarella and remaining Parmesan over each roll up. Bake until bubbly and melted, about 20 minutes.
