10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
-
1
9 1/4 ounce can chuck white tuna (water pack), drained and flaked
-
1
cup low-fat ricotta cheese or cream-style cottage cheese, drained
-
1/2
cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1
clove garlic, minced
-
1
package (8) refrigerated crescent rolls
-
3
thick slices provolone cheese (3 ounces)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1. For filling, stir together spinach, tuna, ricotta or cottage cheese, the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and the garlic; set aside.
2. Unroll and separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles. On an ungreased baking sheet or shallow baking pan, place rectangles together overlapping edges slightly, for a 14x10-inch rectangle. Firmly press edges and perforations together to seal.
3. Spread filling in a 3-1/2-inch-wide strip, lengthwise down the center of dough. Top with provolone, cutting cheese as necessary to cover the filling.
4. Make cuts in dough at 1-inch intervals on both long sides of rectangle just to the edge of the filing. Fold dough strips diagonally over filling, overlapping strips and alternating from side to side to give a braided appearance.
5. Bake in a 375 degree F oven 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. If desired, serve with chopped tomatoes and additional grated Parmesan cheese.

I'd like to know where you get your crescent rolls, because the package of eight that I bought did not come close to making a 14" x 10" rectangle. There was not enough to reach the top of the filling, forget braiding. It tasted pretty good, so I can see the potential, but if I make it again I'll have to try 12 or 16 rolls. Maybe I can find some really large crescent roll dough? I see your photo, but did you use ALL of the filling for that? Didn't work that way for me.
