The idea tastes good
To speed up the time, you can use frozen spinach. In this case, they can be cooked directly in a pan and seasoned with a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper and garlic.- Pour the chopped spinach into a bowl, add the ricotta and parmesan cheese: mix everything well to mix the ingredients.
- Using a rolling pin, work the fresh dough on a pastry board until it forms a fairly regular rectangle.
- Meanwhile, boil the water in a large saucepan.
- Arrange the sheet of pasta in a clean cloth and distribute the ricotta and spinach cream along the entire surface.
- Gently roll the pastry, trying to bend the ends inwards: this will prevent the filling from coming out during cooking.
- Close the roll like a candy with the help of a kitchen cord. Gently dip the roll of dough into lightly salted water and simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the accompanying tomato sauce.In a saucepan, pour the tomato puree, add a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper, then let it all flavor for 10-15 minutes. Those who wish can also add a few basil leaves or a clove of garlic.
- When the roll of dough is ready, remove it from the cooking water, let it drain and remove it from the cloth. The roll is ready to be cut into slices.
- Serve the slices of roll as an accompaniment to the tomato sauce. Those who wish can sprinkle with a little grated parmesan.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
An undoubtedly alternative first course, which you can also prepare in time and reheat at the moment. If you are not fond of tomatoes, you can also brown your slices of pasta roll in the oven, adding béchamel and parmesan cheese.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
