Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery filling. For a richer flavor, use fresh spinach that has been sautéed with garlic before adding it to the ricotta mixture. Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or parmesan, to customize the flavor. Serve with a side of pasta, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
