How to Make Asparagus Ricotta Strudel Vegetarian Or Not Your Choice

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup chopped ham (optional), 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (chopped), 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 egg white, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
  5. Cut asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.
  6. Cook asparagus in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of water, covered, for 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  7. Drain asparagus and immediately rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside to cool.
  8. Gently stir the cooled asparagus into the ricotta mixture.
  9. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry kitchen towel. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  10. Top with another sheet of phyllo, spray with cooking spray, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
  11. Repeat layers until you have used 4-6 sheets of phyllo, ending with a sprayed top layer.
  12. Spoon the cheese and asparagus mixture lengthwise onto half of the top phyllo layer, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides.
  13. Fold in the short sides of the phyllo over the filling.
  14. Starting from the longest side, tightly roll up the strudel, jelly-roll style.
  15. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  16. Place the strudel, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  17. Using a sharp knife, score the strudel into 12 slices, cutting through only the top layer.
  18. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  19. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve with fresh fruit.
