Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Pastry:

  • 1 package (about 17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Roll Out the Pastry

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth them out. Cut each sheet into squares, about 4×4 inches.

Fill the Pastry

  • Place a generous spoonful of the spinach and ricotta filling in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill.

Fold and Seal

  • Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape, depending on your preference. Press the edges to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra secure seal.

Brush with Egg Wash

  • Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
