low carb spinach ricotta roll

SPINACH + RICOTTA= YUM.  A low carb side dish that could pass as an entree? We have it now.  Actually, I served this with lightly sautéed sliced pork tenderloin and it was delicious together.  I usually keep phyllo pastry and either fresh or frozen spinach at all times, so all I needed to pick up for this was the ricotta cheese.  It was worth the trip to the grocery!  If you love spinach, you will hopefully enjoy this super easy recipe- one that would be perfect for guests and family alike!
