5.3 oz ricotta
1.8 oz grated parmesan
1 egg
1 pinch salt

Preparation of ricotta and spinach savory pastries

First, steam (or blanch) the frozen spinach. Once ready, squeeze them well and place them in the food processor (or blender) with the egg and blend (1).
Pour into a bowl and add the ricotta, parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder (2)
Mix everything well (3) and transfer the mixture into a piping bag
Now take the rolls of puff pastry and divide them into 4 parts, keeping the longer side at the bottom (4)
On each piece, place a “strip” of filling using a piping bag, or a spoon and your hands (5)
Roll up to form a long sausage shape (6)
With the crimped (or smooth) cutter, cut each cylinder into 8 pieces. In the end, we will have 64 pieces in total.
Place each piece on the baking sheet (covered with parchment paper), brush them with the beaten egg and bake at 338°F (static) until golden brown. Let them cool slightly and then you can bring them to the table!
