The smell is awful, but the taste is good. which remembers me. I have to make a batch of spinach roll. Have been a long time I don't make it... spinach roll: 1 -> cook spinach in steam (never in water because the good stuff is washed away). clip the hard parts out, keep only tender, soft spinach leaves. 2 -> blend vine ripened fresh tomatoes in a food processor. make a puree out of it. don't forget to add a little salt and pepper. 3 -> go to the market and buy those fresh pasta disks... I have no idea how it's called in english, but the intended use is to make this: http://www.cucabrazuca.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/pastel_lowres.jpg usually is on the same section of butter and cheese, refrigerated dairy, the packaging is like this: http://www.robertos.com.br/produtos/massa_pastel_01.jpg I suspect you can use fresh lasagna pasta, square, but in any way, use fresh refrigerated pasta. 4 -> while you're at the market, buy any easily melting cheese. I don't like cheddar, I like a white cheese that comes in a glass cup, same texture as cheddar but much better tasting (less salty and less weird-yellow). I'm aware that europeans and americans are crazy about cheddar and I have done that with cheddar too. works. 5 -> Fill the pasta disks/squares with spinach and cheese and make a roll out of it. repeat until all spinach is used. 6 -> When you finish rolling the spinach rolls, lay half of the tomato puree on a glass oven approved thingy like this that I also don't know how to call in english: http://i.s8.com.br/images/domutilities/cover/img3/290323.jpg 7 -> place the spinach rolls over the tomato bed and cover with the remaining tomato puree. sprinkle fresh basil on top. grated parmesan cheese might be a nice thing to put on top. be creative! 8 -> put on hot oven for about 15-20 minutes. The tomato will boil, cook the pasta and melt the cheese, the tomato puree will thicken... hmmm, *delicious*. and smells good too, if you *don't* use nasty cheddar :) -- T
