Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200C (390F) fan forced or 220C (435/430F) convectional, please note that there can be slight variations between ovens.
- Heat oil in a fry pan, add onion and fry gently for 2 minutes, add spinach and pinenuts and season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5 minutes.
- Let cool.
- Add ricotta and mix thoroughly and then add the lightly beaten egg and mix well together.
- Place pastry sheets on a flat surface and cut in half.
- Spoon or pipe spinach mixture along the length of each half of the pastry and brush water down the length of the other side and roll up like a sausage roll, repeat with other sheets of pastry and mix.
- Cut to preferred size (I like to cut into 4 to make mini rolls about 6cm long).
- Put a couple of slits in each roll (to allow steam to escape).
- Place on baking tray/sheet seam side down.
- Put in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will result in the best flavor and texture for your ricotta spinach rolls.
- Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still retain its bright green color.
- Season the ricotta filling generously. This will help to bring out the flavor of the spinach and cheese.
- Use a light touch when rolling up the rolls. You don't want to tear the wonton wrappers.
- Cook the rolls until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious texture.

KMT's low-fat ricotta spinach rolls are a delicious and healthy appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be made ahead of time.
