Spinach and Ricotta Triangles

December 1, 2011
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!

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
No kidding December is nuts! Already I’m looking for a free weekend that month so we can just BE. Love the idea of quick meals prepped ahead and these look fantastic, can’t wait to try them! The addition of the mint is interesting and I can see how it would lighten up the potential heaviness of the triangles!

Is that oven temperature in Celsius?
Hi Myke, yes that is correct. All recipes are Celcius on this site.
i just made these tonight (7/10/14) and i cant wait to try it out, i forgot the mint.. i bought it but i couldnt think where i needed it for… but i have left over spinach & ricotta mix which i think i can use for tomorrow again?. how long can the mix last for in the fridge ?.. think its a few days right?.. not sure.. but i think it will be made up and used all tomorrow.
Hi Pat, the mix will be find to use to make more tomorrow. You may have some excess liquid that needs to be poured off prior to adding it to the pastry. They will be ok without the mint, but it does lift the flavors so add it tomorrow 🙂 Enjoy! Kyrstie.
Try putting in some chopped walnuts for some added texture and goodness!
