    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!

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.F.
    • Heat oil in a medium skillet then add onions and garlic. Sauté until tender (2-3 minutes) then add mushrooms and spinach. Cook 2-3 minutes (stirring occasionally) until spinach wilts.

    • Spread spinach mixture a few inches above the edge of the longer side of the phyllo dough forming a log shape then roll up dough around filling leaving ends open. Spray lightly with olive oil spray then cut several small slits in top to vent.
    • Cook 15-20 minutes or until phyllo is light brown.
    • Slice and serve warm.
