Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 whole eggs
300 grams flour -- * see note
1 tablespoon butter
500 grams frozen spinach -- chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
salt and pepper -- to taste
nutmeg -- to taste
4 cloves fresh garlic -- chopped
parmesan cheese -- grated

use the flour to create a little mountain woth a whole in the middle in which
the eggs will be added gradually, mixing them with the flour using a fork. When
all eggs are well mixed knead the dough until it is smooth enough. Place the
dough on a lightly flour covered table and use a rolling pin to acheive a large
and flat sheet of dough.

In a pot melt the butter and add the garlic, frozen spinach and spices. Let
cook for about 10-15 after all the spinach has unfrosted.
Mix the spinach with the riccotta and some parmesan and spread the mixture on
the sheet of pasta. Roll the pasta as if it wasa strudel and then wrap in a
smooth cloth kitchen towel and tie the ends with string.
Cook the rotolone for 20 minutes in boiling salted water. Unwrapp the towel.
Before serving, slice the rotolone and warm the slices in a pan with some olive
oil or butter, let them brown a bit and get crispy.
Serve hot with tomato sauce and parmesan.
