Preheat the oven to 350F.

Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce evenly at the bottom of a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel, sprinkle with salt and set aside for 15 minutes. This draws out the moisture from the zucchini.

Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and wilt the spinach for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat to cool.

In a bowl, combine the cooled spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until you have a homogenous mixture.

Pat dry the zucchini slices with paper towels, then spoon a portion of the ricotta mixture onto each slice.

Roll up the zucchini slices tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the zucchini rolls and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.

Finish off the dish by garnishing the cooked lasagna with fresh basil just before serving.
