The six smallest countries in Europe are fascinating. These are Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, The Vatican and San Marino. These six countries offer cultural distinction and historical significance. The size does not matter. Sometimes we forget that less can be more. Less can be elaborate or simplistic; but, the goal is for quality. For example, with cuisine, Tapas style food consists of smaller portions. Tea cuisine tends to be made of smaller portions. It is fun and colorful to create a meal with just appetizer choices. Please remember that when reducing the quantity, tasting is emphasized. Try my Pesto Roulade appetizer as a starter or during the dining experience for a creative flair.
Kelly’s Pesto Roulade
Boil, until tender, lasagna pasta. Then lay out the pasta onto the cutting board. Shorten the length of the pasta by cutting each in half. Lightly top the pasta with pesto sauce. Roll up the lasagna pasta and slice it into thin slices creating roulade shapes. Set each roulade onto parchment paper. Top each with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese and broil briefly before serving. These can also be topped with micro greens after baking. It’s fast and flavorful! © Kelly McBride Loft
