Gennaro Contaldo’s cheesy spinach terrine (sformato di spinaci) makes a versatile lunch or light supper dish. Cut off a cheesy, green slice of spring – it’s perfect for lunch in the garden.
Gennaro says: “This savoury spinach loaf cake makes a wonderful main served with either potato salad or bread, and perhaps a mixed or rocket salad. It’s easy to prepare – you can make it in advance and enjoy it hot or cold. You can store it in the fridge and just cut a slice or two whenever you like.”
For a delicious spring dinner in just 15 mins, try Gennaro’s asparagus carbonara.

If you’re using defrosted frozen spinach, there’s no need to prep it – just add in step 2.
Provolone dolce is a light, semi-firm cheese – but it can be hard to find. You can replace it with firm mozzarella (the stuff sold in rectangular blocks) or ready-grated firm mozzarella.
