• Cook the lasagna according to the package directions for al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until sausage is browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Reserve the skillet for assembling the lasagna.
• Combine the ricotta, spinach, mozzarella and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan in a medium bowl.

Rotate the pinwheels so the frilling ends are on top, then transfer them to the prepared skillet with the marinara sauce in a snug, even layer.
