Steps:
- Combine ricotta cheese, alfredo sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir to blend well; fold in spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella & asiago cheeses until evenly distributed.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll ONE CAN of refrigerated pizza crust onto a lightly floured surface; press or roll the dough into a 10x16" rectangle.
- Spread HALF of the spinach-artichoke filling evenly over the dough to within 1/2" of it's edges, but LEAVE a 3/4" margin along one of the long edges/sides.
- Roll the dough up jelly-roll-style, beginning with the long side without a margin, into a tight cylinder, ending at the long side with the margin; pinch along the long seam to seal the roll shut.

- Repeat steps #3-7 using the second can of refrigerated pizza crust and second half of spinach-artichoke filling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap the spinach in a towel or paper towels and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. If you don't, the puff pastry may end up soggy. Combine the spinach, both cheese, the salt and pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Place the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it into a roughly 12x12-inch square, lifting and turning as you go to ensure it's not sticking. Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over the surface of the puff pastry, then spread the spinach/cheese mixture in an even layer. Roll the puff pastry like a jelly roll and pinch to seal at the seam. Cut the roll into approximately 20 1/2-inch slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each lightly with the egg wash. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown.

STEAK, SPINACH & FETA PINWHEELS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Marinade: In a gallon or bigger zipper bag, combine the list of Marinade ingredients. Pierce the flank steak with a knife, making small slits about 1 inch apart. Place the steak into the bag, make sure everything is mixed and all the meat is covered, then seal. Put in the fridge overnight. Final Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the steak from the bag and place on a working surface so that it is wider than tall. Optional, keep the marinade to baste the final log. Sprinkle the steak with the salt, then spread each ingredient across the steak in a single layer: garlic, onion, feta, spinach and bread crumbs. Tightly roll the meat away from you into a log. If it's thin enough, it will form a jelly roll shape. Worst case (like I usually do), you end up with more a 'meat taco'. It still tastes great though. Anyways, once rolled, secure with tooth picks, or kitchen twine (recommended). Place log in a greased casserole dish, seam up (especially if it's a 'taco'). If you saved the marinade, pour some of it over the log for extra flavor. Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until it reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
