Spinach rolls

Spinach rolls
Created by my mum as a way to disguise spinach, this soon became my favourite dinner. I have yet to serve this up to someone who doesn’t love it!
 
 

1 chopped onion

2 cloves of garlic

2 dsps butter

A little flour

1 jar of passata

Basil (optional)

8 lasagne sheets

240g frozen/fresh spinach

1 packet of boursin cheese

80g grated cheddar cheese

Melt the butter in a pan. Fry the garlic and onion until softened.

Add some flour, and whisk until you achieve a smooth thick consistency that comes away from the sides.

Gradually add the passata,whisking to achieve a smooth consistency.

Add basil for flavour. Next cook your spinach in a very small amount of water and drain well.

Bring a pot of water to the boil.

Add one lasagne sheet and leave for approx. 1-2 minutes until it is soft enough to roll without breaking.

Using a knife, spread the boursin onto the lasagne sheet, followed by some spinach and roll.

Place into an oven-proof dish.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each spinach roll. It works best if you only add 1-2 lasagne sheets to the boiling water at a time so that they don’t stick together.

Pour the tomato sauce over the dish of spinach rolls, top with grated cheese and cook in a preheated oven set at Gas 6/ 200°C for 30 minutes.
