Ingredients

• 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped fresh spinach, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 3

Open the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles as indicated by the perforations.

Step 4

Place each triangle of dough flat on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.

Step 6

Roll the dough up starting at the wider end and ending at the tip, tucking in any filling that spills out the sides. Curve the crescents slightly to create a crescent shape.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
