Cheesy Lasagna Rolls

I know this is more Italian food, but we just tried it last night and it was really good. It also makes quite a lot, so you can freeze half and save it for another time.

1/2 package lasagna noodles, cooked and well drained
1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3-4 cups spaghetti sauce (about 1 jar)

Beat together the cream cheese and butter until well combined. Mix in ricotta, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Blend thoroughly. Spread a generous amount of filling on each noodle and then lightly roll up. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 pan with the open side down. Pour sauce over rolls and top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.
