Thermomix Spinach and Ricotta Rolls
A winner with the whole family - these Thermomix Spinach and Ricotta Rolls are always a favourite! And they're freezer friendly too!
Ingredients
- 500 g of ricotta
- 80 g of parmesan cheese finely grated
- 100 g of baby spinach leaves
- 1 egg
- 4 sheets of puff pastry - partially thawed
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
- salt and pepper
- sesame seeds - optional
- 1 egg to brush the rolls with.
Instructions
-
Line your two trays with baking paper and preheat your oven to 210 degrees.

Cut the parmesan cheese into cubes no bigger than 3cm and place in your Thermomix bowl to mix for 10 seconds on speed 9 to grate.

Add the ricotta, baby spinach leaves, 1 egg, nutmeg and salt and pepper to your Thermomix bowl and mix for 15 seconds on speed 4 or until all of the ingredients have combined.
-
Break the extra egg into a small bowl and lightly whisk.

These look amazing – my vegie friends will love them for sure
Oh THESE are a must
Yum, going to cook for dinner one night this week! When you say that you can freeze them, do you freeze them cooked or uncooked?
You can do either Kate 🙂
How much filling did you use per roll? Mine have oozed everywhere
Author
I don’t really measure it, but the filling usually takes up around a 1/4 of the pastry.
Yum yum these were so good! I added some crumbled fetta to mine aswell as it needed to be eaten and they were so delish! I cut them in fours but kept them still pushed up against each other when cooking, so the filling didnt ooze. Then when they had 5-10 mins to go i seperated them. Love the sesame seeds on top. So great cold too.
Oh delicious! We’re so glad you enjoyed them!
these are great, i make them all the time and the kids love them.
I’m sorry I’m just a beginner, but do you have to cook the baby spinach leaves first, as my Thermomix didn’t chop them up & mix them with the ricotta cheese mixture?
Can’t wait to make them! 🙂

Hi Judy, no you don’t need to cook the baby spinach first, it will cook through when the rolls are baking 🙂
I made them the other night for my grand daughters 2nd birthday and they were a HUGE hit, very tasty and so easy to make.
Fantastic!!!
When I saw the filling oozing out, I added about half a cup of breadcrumbs to the remaining filling that was still in the bowl (and then read the notes and and realised the oozing was normal – oops). Anyway, both tasted great! Thanks for the recipe! My 2 and 5 year old loved them!
Hehehe we’re so glad you liked them!
Can you use frozen English spinach instead of baby spinach? Will the kids notice?
Author
Hi Leanne, you certainly can use english spinach, just make sure you remove the excess water is you are using frozen spinach – I don’t think the kids will notice either 🙂
I have a surplus of home grown silverbeet so used that in place of baby spinach, very finely sliced. I clearly overfilled them as ran out of the ricotta mixture with two sheets of pastry left to fill, and they burst in the oven. Very delicious however! 🙂
Quick, easy and delish – everyone loves me!
