Lasagna In Puff Pastry Recipes

SPINACH IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the butter in a saute pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the onion mixture, scallions, Gruyere, Parmesan, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and pignolis. Mix well.
• Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the spinach mixture in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash. Roll out the second piece of puff pastry on a floured board until it's an inch larger in each direction. Place the second sheet of pastry over the spinach and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork. Brush the top with egg wash but don't let it drip down the sides or the pastry won't rise. Make three small slits in the pastry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board and serve hot.

LASAGNA IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven as directed on puff pastry package. Lasagna is easier to work with if completely cold. Cut lasagna in 8 pieces. Use 1/4 sheets of puff pastry for each serving. Cut and roll out pastry so it is about 2 times the size of a lasagna square. Place lasagna in center of pastry. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan or Romano cheese and a little garlic powder. Fold pastry around lasagna, overlapping and sealing by pinching dough. Place on greased cookie sheet. Cut 2 or 3 slits in top of pastry to allow steam to escape. Repeat with all lasagna squares. Brush squares with beaten egg.
• 2. Bake lasagna squares until pastry is completely brown (using temperature and baking times as indicated on package) and lasagna is hot all the way through. While pastry bakes heat Marinara and Alfredo sauces. To serve place pastry on plate. Pour some Marinara sauce on one side of a pastry and some Alfredo sauce on the other side. Fantastic with salad and garlic bread.
