The puff pastry boats are a real treat, very tempting and versatile. You can fill them with any type of cold cuts you can think of, but also cheeses and various sauces. I also recommend the pairing of Brie cheese and pancetta or rapini and sausage. It’s a time-saving recipe perfect for a family dinner. The legendary puff pastry always comes to my rescue.

How to Make Puff Pastry Boats
In a bowl, place the ricotta and season it with salt, pepper, a drizzle of oil, mix and set aside.
Take a sheet of puff pastry, roll it out and cut it in half.
Stuff the edges with the ricotta, roll up the edges of each rectangle created, creating a small cord on the longer sides of the same.
Prick with a fork. Continue pinching the ends of the short sides, forming a point that resembles the stern and bow of a boat.
Fill the inside of each boat with cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 375°F with the fan mode for about 15 minutes.
As a final step, remove from oven and top with speck, walnut kernels and a drizzle of honey if you like.
Storing Puff Pastry Boats
