Divide each rectangle into short strips, about 1cm thick. Twist each pastry strip and place on a baking tray lined with parchment.

PARMESAN PESTO TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 F degrees.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheet so that it's about 15x12 inches on a floured work surface.

• Sprinkle half the parmesan cheese over the pesto.
• Cut into 1 inch strips. Fold each strip in half then pick it up and twist it a few times. Place the twists onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about an inch in between them.
• Repeat with remaining puff pastry sheet and remaining pesto and Parmesan cheese.
• Brush each twist with beaten egg.
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

MOZZARELLA AND PESTO TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a lightly floured work surface and gently stretch into a 14-by-8-inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough in half into two 7-by-8-inch rectangles. Using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread 2 tablespoons of the pesto on the top half of each rectangle, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the mozzarella evenly over each half. Fold the bottom half of the dough upwards to cover the mozzarella and pesto and gently press the edges to seal.
• Cut each rectangle into 8 strips, each about 1/2 inch wide. Carefully twist each strip several times, making sure to keep the filling intact, then place on the prepared baking sheet and pinch the ends to seal. Refrigerate the twists for 30 minutes. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

PESTO TWIST PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cook fusilli ( or rotini) in boiling salted water until it's al dente. Reserve 1 cup (235 ml) of the pasta water before draining.
• Add basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt, and pepper to a food processor or blender and pulse to start to break up the ingredients. Add water and a splash of the olive oil to get things started.
• Scrape down the sides of processor bowl to ensure everything is being incorporated evenly.
• Put the top back on, turn on the food processor, and slowly drizzle the remaining olive oil through the hole on the top of the food processor until emulsified in the sauce.
• Pour the pesto into a bowl, then stir in the parmesan. (The heat of the food processor will start to melt the cheese, so adding it afterwards retains a nice texture)
• Drain the pasta and transfer to large bowl or pan.
• Add pesto and a splash of pasta water, stirring to incorporate.
• Add parmesan and another splash of pasta water.
• Top off with more cheese and basil before serving.
