- Make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour until smooth; cook, whisking, 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cayenne until smooth.
- Bring to a boil and cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan until melted.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper; let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Make the filling: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 6 minutes.

- Transfer to a bowl and let cool, 30 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the parmesan, egg and 3/4 cup of the cooled cheese sauce.
- Prepare the rollatini: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and stir in the olive oil.
- Add the noodles and cook, stirring often, until pliable but not fully cooked, about 8 minutes.
- Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then lay on a work surface.
- Evenly spread 2 1/2 cups of the cheese sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the spinach filling at one end of each noodle.
- Roll the noodles around the filling and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the mozzarella and parmesan.
- Cover the dish with foil; bake until bubbly, about 35 minutes.
- Turn on the broiler.
- Uncover and broil until browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes.
