Step 1

Preheat oven to 450ºF with a rack in the center. Peel and finely chop 1 teaspoon garlic. Finely grate Parmesan. Coarsely chop spinach.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of the tomato sauce, ½ cup water, and ½ teaspoon sugar; bring to boil. Stir in cream cheese until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Transfer sauce to a measuring cup (about 1½ cups); set aside. Wipe out skillet.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, stir together 1 lightly beaten egg and ricotta. Fold in spinach and ½ of the Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Spread ½ cup of the filling onto each of the 4 lasagna sheets (save rest), leaving a 1-inch border at 1 short edge. Lightly brush that border with water, then roll up pasta from opposite end to form a log; seal with brushed border.

Step 4

Cut each log into 4 equal rounds (16 total). Spread ¾ cup of the tomato sauce onto the bottom of same skillet. Arrange lasagna rollups, seam sides down, in skillet. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over top.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the remaining Parmesan over lasagna rollups and bake on center oven rack until pasta is tender and tomato sauce is nearly absorbed, about 12 minutes. Top with remaining Parmesan and serve.

Step 6

Use a crusty loaf like French bread or ciabatta and halve lengthwise. Stir together chopped garlic and oil, then brush cut-sides of bread with oil; season with salt and pepper. Add to a rimmed baking sheet and broil on top oven rack until lightly toasted
