Steps
To make the bells, you first need to prepare a 3-inch paper template.
Cut the pastry using the template in an even number; from a rectangular puff pastry, you should obtain 8 shapes.
Work the ricotta in a bowl, add grated zucchini, pieces of provola, salt, and pepper if you prefer, and mix well.
Sprinkle a little sugar on the shapes and pair them up; with the pastry scraps make balls and place them at the base, inserting them between the two pastries.
Bake at 356°F for 10-12 minutes, then remove from the oven, open the pastries, and fill them with ricotta or as you prefer, then return to the oven for another 3 minutes.
Of course, you can fill the bells first and bake them with the filling if you prepare them at the moment, or if you prepare them in advance you can make the shells and freeze them after baking.
