- Cook them over medium heat until theyre soft, then add the spinach and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl and whisk in the ricotta.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients, then oil a t 3 x 9-inch baking dish well, including the sides.
- Mix the spinach with the egg-cheese mixture, taste for seasoning, and pour into the pan.
