A comforting and creamy bake combining tender spinach and flavorful squash, perfect for a family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 1 pound yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the spinach.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and beaten egg. Mix well.
  5. Stir in the cooked spinach and squash. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, if fresh is unavailable.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a dash of nutmeg to the cheese mixture.
