Wash spinach carefully and remove stems.

Blanch spinach in boiling water for 1 minute. Combine rice, cottage cheese, walnuts, golden raisins or raisins and onion.

Place a tablespoon of rice mixture on each spinach leaf and roll up, being careful as you go, so that filling is completely enclosed.

Place spinach rolls in a buttered casserole dish. Pour tomato passata or pasta sauce over and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in a moderate 180c oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and sauce has reduced slightly.
