directions

  • Boil a big pot of water - probably about 4 cups - to boil your spinach until wilted and tender.
  • Drain spinach and roll in towel and squeeze excess water. Set aside.
  • In non-stick pan, add olive oil and heat at medium heat.
  • Add chopped shallot and garlic to oil and saute until shallots appear slightly clear in color.
  • Add milk and half-and-half to pan and simmer for a few minutes until it gets a little thicker.
  • Add Spinach to pan and stir, making sure spinach is covered in cream.
  • Add nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • Add ricotta and stir around until it is incoporated to the spinach mixture thoroughly.
  • I add the spinach to a small casserole dish, and sprinkle parmesean on top and pop in the oven at a high temp for a few minutes to melt the cheese on top. You can use asiago, romano, and/or parmesean on top!
  • Enjoy!
