Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 2 cups potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pre-made pie crust 9-inch

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, sautéed spinach mixture, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
  6. Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the spinach and potato filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust or make a crustless version by greasing the pie dish and pouring the filling directly into it.
  • Add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier filling, or mix in other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor.
