Ingredients:

  1. 1 - frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed thoroughly dry
  2. 1/4 cups - basil leaves, packed
  3. 1/3 cups - tomato paste
  4. 3 - leeks, white and light green parts, sliced
  5. 2 - large baking potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
  6. 1 - large baking potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
  7. 2 - large parsnips, peeled and cut in large chunks
  8. 1 - medium celery root, peeled and cut in large chunks
  9. 1/4 cups - olive oil
  10. - Pinch nutmeg
  11. 2 - eggs
  12. 1/4 cups - potato starch
  13. - Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Place the leeks, potatoes, turnips, parsnips and celery root, with water to barely cover, in a heavy pot, and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
If you have any liquid left in the pot, reduce on a high flame. The mixture must be absolutely dry.
Transfer to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade.
Add the oil, nutmeg, eggs, flour, salt and pepper, and process the whole mixture, in batches if necessary, until perfectly smooth.
Preheat the oven to 375*f.
Grease a 2-quart rectangular mold with straight sides, and line with plastic wrap, letting the excess overhang.
Divide the mixture in thirds, and place in three bowls.
Process one third in the food processor with the spinach and the basil until smooth. Pack tightly in the mold.
Pack the second (white) third on top of the green layer in the mold.
Process the last third with the tomatoe paste until smooth (rinse and dry the bowl of the food processor first to get rid of the green batch), and pack tightly on top of the white layer in the mold.
Fold the overhanging plastic on top of the mold. Bake for 1 hour or until the top is firm.
Chill the mold. Serve alone or with red pepper sauce (recipe follows).
