Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5. Mix half the Parmesan, the
mascarpone, the taleggio, the lemon zest and juice, and the walnuts.
Put ¼ of the mixture to one side, then combine the remaining cheese
mixture with the spinach and season to taste. Fry the sage leaves in
hot butter and crumble ½ into the cheese and spinach mixture, saving
the rest for the top. Put a good spoonful of the cheese and spinach
mixture along one of the longer edges of each lasagne sheet and roll
up. Put them in a flat oven dish, dot with the leftover cheese mixture,
drizzle over ¼ of a glass of water and sprinkle with the remaining
Parmesan and crispy sage leaves. Cover with foil and bake in the
preheated oven for 20 minutes.
