In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and a whole container of part skim ricotta cheese.

Add 1 egg to the cheese mixture and beat it slightly to mix in easily.

Add parsley to the cheese mixture for color and stir well to combine.

Spread a little marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.

Using a kitchen scoop, fill each lasagna noodle with the cheese filling, making it thicker at one end and thinner at the other.

Roll up the lasagna noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.

Repeat the filling and rolling process until all noodles are filled and placed in the dish.

Spread the remaining marinara sauce on top of the rolled noodles, ensuring no noodles are exposed.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
