Aussie Sausage Rolls

1-1/4 pounds bulk pork sausage
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons snipped chives
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon paprika, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed

In a bowl, combine the sausage, onion, chives, basil, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper. Unfold pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll each pastry sheet into an 11-in. x 10-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut widthwise into 3-1/2-in. strips.

Spread 1/2 cup of sausage mixture down the center of each strip. Fold pastry over and press edges together to seal. Cut each roll into six pieces.

Place seam side down on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 3 dozen.
