Cook half the lasagna noodles in boiling water until tender, about 8 minutes.

With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the noodles to a large bowl of cold water.

Repeat with the remaining noodles.

Drain and arrange the noodles in a single layer on clean kitchen towels.

Cover with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Set aside 1/4 cup of the onion mixture.

Add flour to the onion mixture remaining in saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon 1/2 cup of the sauce into bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Process cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth.

Add the reserved 1/4 cup onion mixture, spinach and mozzarella; pulse until finely chopped.

Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Add egg and pulse until blended.

Spread about 3 tablespoons spinach mixture over 1 noodle.

Roll up firmly and place seam-down in the prepared pan.

Repeat with the remaining noodles and spinach mixture.

Spoon the remaining sauce evenly over roll-ups and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Bake roll-ups, uncovered, until bubbling and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
