Ingredients:
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

- 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 the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the Filling
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. - Assemble the Pastries
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 squares (8 squares total).
Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and cheese mixture into the center of each square.
Fold the pastry over to form a rectangle or triangle, then press the edges with a fork to seal. - Apply Egg Wash
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish. - Bake
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. - Serve
Let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
