Chard rotolo from @ixta.belfrage fabulous Mezcla. Oh my what a delicious pasta dish! I never had rotolo before so I didn’t know what to expect but this certainly was super delicious surprise. The structure was something like lasagne or canneloni but much lighter. Taste was wonderful, the Rocket paste was utterly delicious with lasagne sheets and precooked chard leaves. Before I started to cook this deliciousness I was a little but intimidated how it would work as preparing looked quite difficult. All the worring was unnecessary, the leaves kept their shape very well and the filling didn’t spill out, yay! 🙈 First the Rocket paste was prepared mixing rocket, basil leaves, anchovy fillets, grated parmesan , olive oil, lime zest, mascarpone, salt and pepper were blitzed in a food processor until smooth. Next chard leaves were blanched in a boiling water for 30-40 seconds and then drained in a colander. When cooked the chard stalks were removed and chopped finely, then added to the rocket paste. Lasagne sheets were shortly precooked in a boiling water (approx 1 minute). Next chard leaves were placen on oiled parchment paper overlapping. Then precooked pasta sheets were placed on top. Next the rocket paste was spread on top of the pasta sheets evenly. Then rotolo was rolled like a Swiss roll and baked in the oven first 20 minutes covered and then uncovered for 8 minutes. When taken out of the oven the rotolo was left to cool for 15 minutes. Meanwhile the tomato sauce was prepared. Butter, tomato passata, crushed garlic and basil sprigs were cooked gently for 15 minutes. When the sauce was ready it was placed on a serving plate and cut rotolo pieces place on top. Delicious and healthy! Loved it! Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ❤️ This is my entry to the delicious pasta Thursday #greatpastatations hosted by lovely ladies Vicky @vibouspiceoflife and Anna @ladydaga.uncorked ❤️ _______________________________ #eatwithme #fooddiaries #dailyfooddiary #dailyfoodpic #foodfeedblog #foodblogfeed #foodblogger #thecookfeed #frommykitchen #hereismyfood #mycommontable #myopenkitchen #shareyourtable #tastingtable #storyofmytable #eatcaptureshare #inmykitchen #foodflatlay
