Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, I like to prepare the filling first. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. The vibrant colors of the spinach against the creamy ricotta are just beautiful! You want to mix everything until it’s well incorporated, resulting in a wonderful green-tinged cheese spread that’s delicious all on its own. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
