Instructions:

For the spinach roulade with sage butter, sift flour (bran can be added to cereal, for example, or used for baking bread) and knead with the eggs, salt and olive oil to form a firm, smooth pasta dough. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. Then place in the icebox for another 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely chop onions and garlic. Drain spinach in a colander, squeeze and then chop with a chopping knife. Sauté onions and garlic in hot olive oil until translucent. Add spinach, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and sauté briefly. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Cut esterkron into thin strips. In a large, oblong pot, bring salted water to a boil. Coat work surface and pasta walker with olive oil and roll out pasta dough to a rectangle about 2 mm thick. The narrow side should be as long as the diameter of the pot.

Spread the spinach filling on the pasta dough, and spread the estherron and pistachios on top. Roll up from the narrow side. Wrap roll tightly in a tea towel, tie the ends and cook in lightly simmering water for about 35 minutes.

In the meantime, cut sage leaves into strips, melt butter in a pan and deep-fry sage until crispy. Carefully remove the roll from the water and let it steam a bit, then unwrap it and serve the spinach roll with sage butter.
