To Assemble

Instructions

Sausage

  1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands. Keep aside.

Bechamel

  1. Heat the milk and keep it aside.
  2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium-sized pot. Add the flour and stir well either with a wooden spoon or with a whisk so that no lumps form.
  3. Slowly add the hot milk while continuously stirring your sauce. Add salt and nutmeg, and let it cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Keep aside.

Filling

  1. In a pan, sauté the green onion with the extra virgin olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook until golden.
  2. Add the sausage and stir well. Add the wine and let it evaporate.
  3. Add the salt and some water and cook until the potatoes are soft.
  4. When cool, add 2 tablespoons of bechamel sauce and mix well.

To Assemble

  1. Spread 1/6 of the filling on each crespella.
  2. Roll them on themselves like a Swiss Roll (see video).
  3. Put them in a greased oven-proof dish and cover the crespelle with the Bechamel sauce. Sprinkle with the finely grated Pecorino Romano.
  4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C – 355°F for 15 minutes, then turn the grill on and cook for 5 minutes more, until the top becomes golden brown.
  5. Serve warm!
