Rinse the pasta with warm water, or toss with oil after cooking. Be careful if you're using a strong extract replacing the lemon, so it doesn't overpower. Traditionally it's candied citron, oranges, cherries, raisins, and nuts. You could use dried fruits, like dried cherries, apricots, or cranberries. But if I would pick one, that's my thinking.
Puff pastry is made from butter that is incorporated into flour in layers.
It's turned over several times by folding it like a letter. Then it's rolled out, turned again, and refrigerated between turns. Phyllo dough is a very thin layer in itself. You usually pile up between three and five layers, with butter and sugar or flour in between. It's mainly a difference in how the layers are achieved.
