Ingredients

•12 ounces fresh spinach, (see Note)

•1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, or low-fat cottage cheese

•1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

•2 large eggs, beaten

•1 clove garlic, minced

•1/4 teaspoon salt

•1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

• Note: Baby spinach is immature or young spinach-it’s harvested earlier than large-leaved mature spinach. We like the sturdy texture of mature spinach in cooked dishes and serve tender, mild-flavored baby spinach raw or lightly wilted. Baby and mature spinach can be used interchangeably in these recipes (yields may vary slightly); be sure to remove the tough stems from mature spinach before using.
