Stir in egg. Blend spinach and pesto in another medium bowl.
Brush 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish with oil. Spread 1 cup pasta sauce in prepared dish.
Arrange 3 noodles side by side atop sauce. Spread 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese mixture over in thin layer. Drop 1/3 of spinach mixture over ricotta by spoonfuls.
