Preparation

1. Prepare the Spinach

In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Mix the Ricotta Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

3. Incorporate Spinach

Once the spinach has cooled, chop it finely and fold it into the ricotta mixture until evenly incorporated.

Assembly

4. Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. Combine Mixture

Pour the ricotta and spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. Prepare the Topping

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, and chopped parsley. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

7. Add Topping

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the ricotta and spinach mixture in the baking dish.

Baking

8. Bake the Gratin

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

9. Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Ricotta Gratin warm.
