Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. If using fresh spinach, add it now and cook until wilted. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before adding. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
