Spinach and Ricotta Rolls
Golden puff pastry rolls filled with spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, and gentle seasoning. Serve warm as a snack or light main course.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C, or 180°C for a fan oven. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
-
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, add the spinach, and cook until completely wilted.
-
Step 3
Transfer the spinach to a colander and let it cool. Press out as much liquid as possible, then chop it coarsely.
-
Step 4
Combine the spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
-
Step 5
Cut each puff pastry sheet in half to make four rectangles. Divide the prepared filling evenly along one long edge of each rectangle, roll the pastry around it, and place each log seam-side down.
-
Step 6
Cut each log into 3 equal rolls and arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
-
Step 7
Beat 1 egg, brush it over the rolls, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
-
Step 8
Bake until puffed and deeply golden, and until the centers reach 74°C.
