pizza scrolls
This is how leftover pasta sauce becomes proper lunchbox gold. Puff pastry, a layer of sauce, some grated cheese, roll, slice, bake. That’s it. They taste like pizza, work hot or cold, and are one of those things both kids and adults keep reaching for.
- 1 sheet wholegrain puff pastry (ready-rolled, kept cold)
- Leftover tomato pasta sauce
- Grated cheese (Gouda, Emmental or mozzarella)
- Dried herbs (oregano, basil)
- 1 egg (for brushing)
Preheat oven to 180°C (fan 160°C).
Roll out the puff pastry and slice in half lengthwise.
Spread a thin layer of sauce over the pastry, leaving the edges clean.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and a little herb mix.
Roll each half into a tight sausage shape and slice into bite-size pieces.
Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until puffed and crisp.
