Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:
- 1 package of puff pastry (450 g)
- A handful of cooked pasta (any preferred type, I used spaghetti)
- ½ box of Delaco Fine Cheese (about 200 g)
- 100 g of Delia cheese, cut into cubes or grated
- A handful of fresh green basil, finely chopped
- 1 egg for brushing
- Flax seeds for decoration
- Salt, to taste

Preparation:

1. Preparing the dough: Start by rolling out the puff pastry on a clean, dry work surface to prevent sticking. A sprinkle of flour will help the dough slide more easily.

2. Cheese cream: Using a spatula or spoon, evenly spread the Delaco Fine Cheese over the surface of the dough. This cheese is creamy and delicious, adding flavor and consistency to the strudel.

3. Adding ingredients: Sprinkle the cheese cubes over the cheese cream. Delia cheese is perfect for providing a rich flavor and creamy texture. Then, add the cooked pasta, which will add volume and a hint of flavor.

4. Seasoning: Sprinkle the chopped green basil over the entire surface of the filling. Basil brings a fresh aroma that perfectly complements the cheese and Delia cheese. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be more intense with fresh.

5. Rolling the strudel: Start rolling the dough with the filling, like a roulade. Make sure the strudel is well wrapped to prevent it from opening during baking. Carefully shape it and place it in a greased baking tray.

6. Brush and decorate: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the surface of the strudel with it. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust. Sprinkle flax seeds to add an aesthetic touch and extra nutrients.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the tray with the strudel inside. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it becomes golden and crispy. The aroma that fills the kitchen during baking is unforgettable!

8. Serving: Once the strudel is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. It can be served warm, alongside a fresh green salad or on its own as a delicious breakfast. A delightful variation is to accompany it with a yogurt sauce or flavored sour cream.

Practical tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is completely thawed before use. This ensures even baking.
- If you want to experiment, you can add sliced green or black olives, sautéed mushrooms, or even roasted vegetables to the filling for a vegetarian option.
- The strudel can also be prepared a day in advance and then reheated in the oven before serving, making it ideal for festive meals.

Nutritional benefits:
This strudel recipe is not only delicious but also rich in protein due to the cheese. Additionally, basil brings antioxidants and vitamins, while the pasta provides essential carbohydrates for energy.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use another type of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or goat cheese, for a different flavor.
- What can I do with leftover dough? You can use the remaining dough to create mini tarts or pies with other fillings, such as fruits or chocolate.
- Can I freeze the strudel? Yes, the strudel can be frozen before baking. Wrap it well in cling film and keep it in the freezer. Bake it directly from the freezer, but it will require a longer baking time.
