directions

  • Preheat oven to 200C (390F) fan forced or 220C (435/430F) convectional, please note that there can be slight variations between ovens.
  • Heat oil in a fry pan, add onion and fry gently for 2 minutes, add spinach and pinenuts and season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Let cool.
  • Add ricotta and mix thoroughly and then add the lightly beaten egg and mix well together.
  • Place pastry sheets on a flat surface and cut in half.
  • Spoon or pipe spinach mixture along the length of each half of the pastry and brush water down the length of the other side and roll up like a sausage roll, repeat with other sheets of pastry and mix.
  • Cut to preferred size (I like to cut into 4 to make mini rolls about 6cm long).
  • Put a couple of slits in each roll (to allow steam to escape).
  • Place on baking tray/sheet seam side down.
  • Put in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

  1. Made these for a 50th birthday party and they were a great hit. Everyone loved them, very tasty. I made some with puff pastry but didn’t have enough so used shortcrust pastry for the rest which worked out very nice too.
     
  2. Scrummy! I made these for Mother's Day 2013 and got lots of compliments. A tasty yet simple recipe and it is now one of my favourites.
     
  3. Yum! I made this as just one huge Spinach and Ricotta Roll, we thought it was very delicious. I really enjoy spinach and ricotta rolls I get from the bakery, so I had to try this. It was very easy and simple to make. Thanks I'mPat for posting this wonderful recipe.
     
  4. I made these for the Aussie/Kiwi Swap in January 2010. These are tasty, and probably even tastier if you use fresh onions ( I used what I had on hand-dehydrated onions). And if you know how to work with phyllo dough (I don't), they can come out very pretty.

  1. I used fresh baby spinach instead of frozen. I added it to the other ingredients in the fry pan towards the end of cooking just until it wilted down.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
