In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until golden and cooked down.
Add minced garlic to the pan with the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, 1 egg, and black pepper. Combine the mixture with the cooled mushroom and spinach filling.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the mushroom and spinach filling evenly in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic crust. The center will remain exposed.
Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon milk to make the egg wash. Brush it over the crust for a golden finish.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the galette to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
