Ingredients:

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Filling:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Assemble the Pastries:

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.

Cut each sheet into 4 squares (you should have 8 squares total).

Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each square.

Fold the pastry over to form a rectangle or triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Apply Egg Wash:

Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Serve:

Let the pastries cool slightly before serving.
