Pizza rolls are the perfect party food. They also make yummy dinners because they are filling. You have the option to add more toppings or fillings if desired.

Add the spinach and cheese mixture to the roll or serve it on the side just like a creamy sauce.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

6 large flour tortillas

250g grated mozzarella cheese

300g Italian sausage, fried and sliced

For the pizza sauce:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 cup tomato paste

1/2 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the spinach-cheese filling:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup minced onions

3 cups spinach leaves, rinsed

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

 

Preheat the oven at 300F and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

First prepare the pizza sauce by heating the oil in a small saucepan. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the tomato paste and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the sugar and Italian seasoning. Season it with salt and pepper.  Let it cool.

After, prepare the spinach and cheese filling by sautéing the onions in another saucepan. Add the spinach leaves and cook if for 3-5 minutes or until they wilt.  Season it with salt and pepper.

Next, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, garlic and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Add the spinach and mix it well.

Place a tortilla on the greased tray. Spread pizza sauce over it and top it with the Italian sausage and sprinkle it with grated mozzarella. Drizzle it with olive oil. Repeat this for the remaining tortillas. Bake them in the oven for 10 minutes or until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese is melted.

Place some spinach and cheese mixture over the pizza. Roll up and serve immediately.
