Spinach and sausage rolls

The original recipe is sausage rolls, but i wanna make it a bit more healthier with some vegetables on it, so i add some baby spinach, besides it makes the food looks more colourful and pretty.

This is lazy but yummy recipe for me, because i used thawed frozen pastry,only need less than half an hour to prepare and cook them, so if you being lazy to cook tonight, why not try this recipe? :) Kids will love it too.



I usually cook the sausage on the BBQ, but i don't like to eat burnt stuff on the skin, they're a bit bitter and ugly colour , another alternative is on the grill or the oven, but if i cooked them too long the skins will be shrunk and tough, so its tricky handling the sausage by it self for me. With the pastry around the sausage makes it on their original shape and cook evenly.
