Steps for Puff Pastry Twists with Pesto

• First, before making the puff pastry twists with pesto, prepare the savory pesto mousse. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone or Philadelphia and the pesto until you get a green mousse.

  

• Unroll the puff pastry and cut out 4 rectangles, depending on the size of your pastry. From the rectangles, create a central strip with a fluted pastry wheel and insert one end in the center, passing it under the central strip, then the other end, thus obtaining a bow-tie braid shape (just like when we make classic Carnival fritters or “bugie”). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. With this dose, you get 4, always depending on the size of the pastry you use.

  

• Fill each twist in the center with a tablespoon of pesto mousse (see photo) and bake them in a preheated static oven at 374°F for 15 – 20 minutes. Take them out and let them cool.

  

• In another bowl, mix the spreadable cheese with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. Place the obtained mousse in a piping bag with a star tip and decorate the surface of the bows with dollops of cream. Finally, decorate with tomatoes, olives, and capers. And there they are, ready to serve.
