- 1 g egg lightly beaten
- 250 g ricotta
Direction
- Rinse leaves well and place in large saucepan over medium heat, cook until leaves are wilted.
- Remove from heat, drain spinach, cool slightly, press firmly to remove excess liquid. Chop finely.
- Add onion to a heated, greased large frypan and stir until onion is soft.

- How to make ricotta.
- Transfer spinach mixture to a bowl, cool slightly.
- Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut pastry sheets in half. Spoon ½ cup spinach mixture along one long edge of pastry strip. Brush the other long edge of pastry strips with beaten egg. Roll up to enclose filling and form rolls.
- Place rolls seam-side down, brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little extra parmesan cheese, if desired. Cut each roll diagonally into 4 pieces. Place on a greased baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes in a 200C oven, until golden.
