I am using this to make spinach pie because I can't find phyllo dough here. Is there any way to make this pasta into more layers? Any bakers out there know how to do this? Or any way to substitute phyllo dough?

You can't separate it like Phyllo, unless I'm not doing it right. Any tricks to using it?

Sorry, not a baker!
However when I use it I only roll it thin and then stuff it with whatever (either sweet e.g. apple strudel, or savory e.g. goat cheese and peppers), close it up, pit a bit of egg wash on top and into the oven.

You might check with the chef at Il Mare. We had great Greek food there last night.

Helene,
You can find out how to use this by googling frozen puff pastry dough. Puff pastry puffs into layers due to the repeated folding and rolling out of the dough, but is a totally different animal than phyllo sheets.
Thank you to all who responded. My spinach pie is good but didn't come out as planned.
