Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil.
Wash the spinach thoroughly and blanch in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until it wilts. Drain well and press out excess water using paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Layer the bottom of the greased baking dish with half of the spinach, spreading it out evenly.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the spinach layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Repeat the layers with the remaining spinach and ricotta mixture. Finish by sprinkling the top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the mozzarella layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
