Italian Spinach And Ricotta Pie Recipes

ITALIAN SPINACH CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch deep-dish pie plate.
• In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs and bell pepper. Spread in the prepared pie dish so that it is a little thinner in the middle.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the center is set, and the edges are lightly browned.

SPINACH RICOTTA PIE

Steps:

• Put the Ricotta Cheese (500 gram) into the bowl and begin to break it down using a fork.
• Add Fresh Baby Spinach (120 gram) and a generous handful of Pecorino Romano Cheese (to taste).
• Mix together well and add a sprinkle of Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and a touch of Ground Nutmeg (to taste).
• Add an Egg (1) and mix together once again.
• Once the ingredients are mixed and the filling looks much creamier, it is ready.
• Line a baking dish with Puff Pastry (2) and Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed), and prick the bottom of it using a fork so it helps it to cook through.
• Fill it using the ricotta mixture and even it out as much as you can using a spatula.
• Cover the pie with another sheet of puff pastry, angling it so that the edges cover any gaps.
• Create a crust by gently folding down the edges and joining the two layers together.
• Press down around the edges using the teeth of a fork.
• Beat an Egg (1) lightly in a small cup and add a drop of water.
• Brush the egg mix over the top of the pie using a pastry brush.
• Cook in the oven at 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) for 40 minutes or until golden.
• Let the spinach ricotta pie rest and cool for up to ten minutes, then slice into triangular serves and place on a wooden board. Enjoy!
