Method

  1. To make the Ricotta and Spinach Puff Pastry Bundles, start by washing and trimming the spinach, then boil it. When it’s ready, drain it and squeeze it to remove the excess water. Let it cool slightly, then place it in a medium bowl, add the ricotta to the bowl as well and mix well, then stir in the eggs and the grated Parmigiano and mix until smooth.
  2. Unroll your sheets of puff pastry and cut out lots of squares about 5 centimeters (2 inches) per side, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay your pastry squares on it. Now, using a teaspoon, fill the squares with the ricotta and spinach mixture.
  3. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and brush it on the edges of the squares so they stick together when folded into a triangle, then press the edges lightly with your hands to seal them and form the little triangles. Brush the tops of the triangles with the remaining yolk as well. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry triangles are golden. Finally, take them out of the oven, let them cool slightly and serve your Ricotta and Spinach Puff Pastry Bundles. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
