Spinach and Ricotta Cheese in Filo Pastry

- 1 6-oz. package fresh spinach
- 1 15-oz. container ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 8 sheets filo pastry
Cook the spinach, pat dry and roughly chop. Mix spinach, ricotta cheese, parsley, egg whites and salt. Add a tsp. of water to the egg yolks to make a wash for the pastry. For each pastry, take one sheet of filo and fold it lengthwise (if desired brush between the layers with melted butter.) Place 1/8 of the mixture at one end of the filo. Roll over once, fold in the ends, and continue to roll. Brush each pastry with the egg yolk wash. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet at 350F until golden (approx. 20 minutes.) Serves 4.
