Baked Spinach and Ricotta Rotolo is like Lasagna Rolls Ups andCannelloni but BETTER because its got brown crunchy bits.
And crunchy bits are always the best!
The rich tomato sauce.

The creamy spinach and ricotta filling spiked with parmesan and nutmeg.
Golden brown bubbly cheese.
And the brown crunchy bits, the crowning glory.
How inappropriate would it be to pick off all the crunchy bits before it gets to the table?
What is Rotolo?
Rotolo is a traditional Italian dish thats not widely known outside of Italy.
The literal translation of rotolo is scroll or coil.
For day to day cooking, I shelved this as a too hard recipe.
But then I came acrossthis baked versionmade by Jamie Oliver.
Its not purely authentic, but for ordinary people like me, it is much more practical.
And so darn tasty!
Those brown bits….those crunchy brown bits.
Basically, if you loveSpinach and Ricotta Cannelloni(or thispasta bakeorlasagna, for that matter!)
then youre going to be mad over this Rotolo.
The smells coming out of your oven while its baking are pretty darn good.
(And just WAIT until you see the video!)
And thats completely on theme.
Theres nothing elegant about this Spinach and Ricotta Rotolo.
The best sort of food relaxed deliciousness!
and a big bottle of tomato passata, theres actually a decent amount of vegetables in this dish.
So I usually serve it just as is without any sides for a casual midweek meal.
Now, go forth and impress the pants off your family and friends!
Years overdue for a VIDEO to be added!
