Can I use regular puff pastry instead of whole wheat?

The recipe specifies vegan whole wheat puff pastry sheets, but if you're not strictly adhering to whole wheat, any vegan puff pastry should work.

What can I do with leftover ricotta filling?

The recipe makes a large amount of ricotta filling, so you can use any leftovers as a normal ricotta in other dishes, such as lasagna or stuffed shells.

How do I ensure my puff pastry triangles are golden and puffy?

Brush the triangles with soy milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking at 356 degreesF for 15-20 minutes, or until they are visibly golden brown and have puffed up.

Can I prepare these Spinach and Ricotta Puff Pastry Triangles ahead of time?

You can prepare the ricotta filling ahead and store it, then assemble and bake the triangles just before serving for the best flaky texture.

How to Prepare Spinach and Ricotta Puff Pastry Triangles [Vegan]

Lightly fry your onion and garlic in a little olive oil.
Add your tofu to a food processor with the spinach, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked onion and garlic and pulse a few times until the mixture comes together. You want it to have a ricotta texture so do not over do it so that it becomes a paste.
Cut your frozen puff pastry sheets into squares.
Spoon in a couple of teaspoons of the ricotta mixture into the center of your pastry square and fold over to create a triangle. Be careful not to over fill.
Pinch the edges together with the edge of a fork so that the triangles have closed. The ricotta recipe makes a large amount so repeat the process until you get as many triangles as you like and keep the leftovers to use as a normal ricotta.
Brush a little bit of soy milk over your triangles and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
Bake at 356°F for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
