• 10 oz (284 grams) chopped spinach, frozen
• 8 oz white mushrooms, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• ¾ teaspoon italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• ½ cup ricotta cheese
• ¼ cup shredded parmesan & romano cheese
• 2 x 8oz cans of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• salt, to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add chopped garlic and onion. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Add chopped mushrooms and mix. Then add some salt, black pepper, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper and mix.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes till the moisture from mushrooms dries out and they turn brownish.
• Add chopped spinach [I used frozen cut spinach] and mix.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes till everything is mixed and mixture dries out.
• Transfer mixture to a bowl and then add ricotta cheese, shredded parmesan-romano cheese, Italian seasoning, remaining ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper & ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika. Adjust seasoning at this point.
• Also add the chopped cilantro and mix everything till well combined.
• Open Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles overlapping on the edges to form a circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Spoon mushroom-spinach-ricotta mixture on half of each triangle closest to center of ring.
• Bring each triangle up over the filling and tuck under the bottom layer of dough to seal it.
• Bake the crescent ring at 375 F degrees for 20-25 minutes until the dough turns golden brown.
• Let the crescent ring cool for 10 minutes before cutting into slices!
