Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 10 oz frozen spinach
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Thaw the 1 sheet puff pastry according to package directions, then unfold it on a lightly floured surface.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup ricotta, 1 beaten egg, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Squeeze the 10 oz frozen spinach dry with a clean towel, then stir it into the ricotta mixture.

  4. 4

    Transfer the pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Spread the ricotta-spinach mixture over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.

  5. 5

    Arrange the 1 cup roasted red peppers on top. Fold the pastry edges over the filling, pleating as needed.

  6. 6

    Bake until the crust is golden and puffed, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

  7. 7

    Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
