I love puff pastry! I bought these two rolls of pastry of a famous brand in the special offer and I've used for these two recipes.

Ingredients:
1 roll of puff pastry, 500 grams. grated carrots, 50 oz. butter, 2 eggs and 1 egg, 200 gr. of growth, to taste chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
Preparation:
in a frying pan melt the butter and cook the carrots for 15 minutes, add salt, pepper and parsley, remove from heat and allow to cool. In a bowl mix the eggs with the growth and egg yolk, add the carrots and stir well. Place the disc of puff pastry with his own card in a mold 22 cm. about in diameter, and pour in the filling if you prefer with the cuttings formed the pastry strips for decoration. Brush the edge and the strips with a little milk and bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Baked the cake, let it rest and then serve.


Puff Pastry Cheese Sticks

Ingredients:
1 roll of puff pastry rectangle , 100-120 gr. grated cheese to taste (I ho usato il parmigiano), 1 cucchiaino di paprika (facoltativa).
Preparazione:
dal rotolo di pasta sfoglia ritagliate un rettangolo di cm. 20x25, su una metà cospargete il formaggio grattugiato e se preferite mettete anche la paprika, piegate il rettangolo in due e pressatelo con il mattarello. Tagliate delle striscie di circa 1 cm. di larghezza dal lato corto del rettangolo, poi attorcigliate ogni striscia su se stessa, disponetele ben distanziate tra loro su una teglia grande ricoperta con carta forno e cuocete in forno preriscaldato a 200° per circa 10-15 minuti facendo attenzione alla cottura. Sfornate i bastoncini e lasciateli raffreddare.

Preparation:
worked quickly the ingredients for the pastry, make a loaf, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For the custard: in a saucepan Cream i tuorli con lo zucchero, unite a poco a poco la farina setacciata e continuando a mescolare aggiungete il latte a filo e la scorza di limone, mettete il tegame sul fuoco a fiamma moderata e mescolate con un cucchiaio di legno rigirando sempre nello stesso verso fino a far addensare la crema. Togliete la crema dal fuoco, eliminate la scorza di limone, unite il cucchiaino di scorza di limone grattugiata e fatela raffreddare, mescolate la crema di tanto in tanto per evitare che si formi la pellicina in superficie. Riprendete la pasta frolla dal frigo e stendetela con il mattarello su un foglio di carta forno, imburrate e infarinate una teglia per crostate di 26 cm. circa di diametro e foderatela con il disco di pasta frolla. Punzecchiate il fondo with a fork, cover the dough with a sheet of baking paper and fill with dried beans or rice. Bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes, remove from oven, remove paper and beans and put in oven for another 5 minutes, and then sfornatela lascietela cool. Beat the mascarpone with the icing sugar, add the cold custard and mix well. Warm the strawberry jam and sprinkle the bottom of the tart (or spalmetela with melted chocolate and allow to solidify), pour into the prepared filling and level the surface. Wash the strawberries and drain well, remove the stalk, cut in half and arrange them in concentric circles on the tart, or decorate to your liking. Prepare gelatin by reading the instructions on the package and pour it evenly over strawberries. Then put the tart in the refrigerator.
