Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

  2. 2

    Add Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and mix it into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add the eggs to the mixture and mix until combined.

  4. 4

    Add Water

    Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Rest the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cooked and chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

  3. 9

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the rolled dough into squares or circles. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each piece.

  4. 10

    Seal the Edges

    Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

  5. 11

    Bake

    Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 12

    Drizzle and Garnish

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and fresh basil before serving.
