That was my exact thought, Tiago! I even had the little asterisks

and what if it's like the original Chinese food cooked in China? 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:

usually is on the same section of butter and cheese, refrigerated
dairy, the packaging is like this:

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:

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 :)

Are they just flour shells like for burritos?
