For an easy spanakopita, try this version that is made in a pan, then cut into squares. It has all the wonderful taste of the classic version-buttery phyllo with a spinach-cheese filling-but is so simple to do. -Barbara Smith, Chipley, Florida

Spoon 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture into a sausage shape along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and score the roll into 1-inch rounds. Place it on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry and filling have been used.
