Preparing the Base

Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Rest the Dough
Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Prepare the Filling Mixture
In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Fill and Fold
Cut the rolled-out dough into squares (about 4x4 inches). Place a spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each square. Fold the dough over to form triangles and press the edges to seal.
