Description

Tender pasta roll filled with spinach and parmesan, drizzled with a bright lemon-yogurt sauce. A simple, elegant Italian-inspired dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 0 lbs (150 gr) smooth butter
  • 0 lbs (75 gr) flour
  • Salt
  • 0 lbs (200 gr) spinach
  • 1 egg
  • 0 lbs (25 gr) Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • 0 lbs (125 gr) yogurt
  • 1 tbsp (20 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. For the roll:
  2. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Melt the butter, then add it to the egg yolks, the flour, and the egg whites.
  3. Roll out the dough on a baking tray and bake for 7 minutes at 170°C (338°F).
  4. For the filling:
  5. Whisk the spinach with the Parmesan cheese, the egg, salt, and nutmeg.
  6. Once the dough is ready, spread the filling and roll it up.
  7. For the yogurt sauce:
  8. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and salt.
  9. Cut the roll, while still warm, into slices and serve over the yogurt sauce.

Notes

  • To prevent a soggy roll, ensure the spinach is thoroughly squeezed of excess moisture before mixing with the other filling ingredients.
  • For a richer flavor, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt in the sauce.
  • Leftover pasta roll can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
