With three main ingredients you can make this gorgeous giant puff pastry pinwheel in no time. Pesto and ricotta fill layers of puff pastry that are cut and twisted into a pinwheel that begs to be pulled apart!
Ingredients
- 2 sheetss puff pastry
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour , or as needed
- 8.5 ounces ricotta cheese
- 8.5 ounces pesto
Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and dust lightly with flour.

2
Lay puff pastry on a flat work surface; cut a 12-inch circle from each sheet. Transfer 1 circle to the prepared baking sheet.

Spread ricotta evenly over the pastry circle. Top with an even layer of pesto. Lay the second pastry circle on top. Set a small glass upside down in the middle of the circle.

Cut the circle, away from the glass, into 4 equal quarters. Cut each quarter in half, then each eighth in half, to make 16 equal strips. Remove glass. Twist strips twice, two at a time, in the opposite direction. Pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining strips to make a pinwheel shape.

Healthier Eggplant Parmesan
I like this healthier version of eggplant Parmesan because it is not fried and very tasty. I use whole wheat bread crumbs and reduce the amount of fat. Also, I use mostly egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Meatball Casserole
When you have meatballs in the freezer to use up, this is a great go-to meal. I created it to feed two comfortably, and it can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.
