Cook lasagna noodles and drain. Cool under cold running water; drain again

onto a cutting surface and chop fine.

In a large bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, egg yolks, 3/4 cup Parmesan
cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix with a wooden spoon until well
blended. In a greased 13x9 inch baking dish, alternately layer spinach
pasta with spinach - ricotta mixture and mozzarella, making a total four
layers. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes
longer, or until tomato sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese on the side.
