Spinach and Ricotta Triangles
The Thing I Know is that December is a crazy month. It is super busy and the evening routine with the children is often disrupted by a party, visitors or activity. That means tired and cranky kids, and if unprepared leads to a stressful frenzy of activity to get them fed and into bed. My solution to this is to be well prepared for the craziness of December. I allocate time in the lead up for creating a stash of kid friendly meals to put in the freezer. These can be served on one of those frantic evenings. The recipe below freezes well. It works well as a finger-food snack for entertaining, it is a good meal for the kids with a salad or vegetables added as a side and it is perfect for grown-up work lunches. It is quick and easy to make. It is delicious. It is a winner!
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes
Makes: 4 large or 8 small triangles
150gms of spinach washed and cut into strips – removing the spine/stem
500 grams of ricotta ( I use Light)
1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese shredded
4 puff pastry sheets
zest of 1 lemon chopped finely
6 mint leaves chopped finely
salt and pepper to season
1 egg beaten
Mix ingredients
If you are cooking different sizes as I do, the small ones will cook faster so keep an eye on them. I always set my oven timer for 5 minutes prior to the time I think it will be ready. I do this so that I do not forget about it. Usually I start something else after putting food in the oven and forget about it…. I hope other people do that too and I do not need to get my head checked? I think it is about being a mum and doing a million things at once!
This recipe is delicious with Filo pastry also. I originally used filo but now use puff pastry as it is quicker to make as it involves less fuss. It is also less fattening as there are no layers to butter or try to separate.
Add prosciutto to the ingredients if you enjoy the flavor.
Serve as a weekend meal with a salad

Oh yum! I’d love to try these with proscuitto. It’s something we used to buy every week and find a reason to cook. Now we have two girls, it seems it’s off our radar! Must put it back on the shopping list! 
Hi Kellie, thanks for stopping by I hope you enjoy your triangles when you make them. Stayed tuned for more proscuitto recipes in the coming months as we love it too. K
