Remember the small pastitizzi's I wrote about a few days ago? Well the same day, I rolled out the other half of puff pastry and made some spinach pie. With spinach pie, you can basically add as much or little spinach as you wish. It is just so simple to make pie, that is, when you have ready made dough!
Spinach and Ricotta Pie
(serves 6-8)
375g puff pastry
about 100g of spinach (more or less)
250g ricotta
1 medium potato sliced thin
50g grated parmesan
1 egg
a handful of chopped parsley
nutmeg and seasoning
peas (optional)
Prepare the spinach by washing, cooking and draining it or use frozen spinach and squeeze out the excess water.
Mix the ricotta, parmesan, beaten egg, potatoes, prepared spinach and spices together in a bowl.
Roll out your pastry and line the bottom of your tray. Fill the pastry with the ricotta mixture and cover with the rest of the pastry.
Brush some egg on the pastry and prick the pastry with a fork. Place in preheated oven at 220C for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 190C and continue cooking for a further 30 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.

Spinach, potato, and cheese...sounds like a delicious combination!
I wish I liked cheese!!! I'm seeing all these wonderful dishes with cheese on them!
Maybe one day I grow up and learn to eat it ;-)
Lovely pics, Pixie!!!
Pixie, your parents brought you up well, never through out anything that can be eaten.
You I'm biased, luv spinach and cheese pies.
Drool- drool... gosh Pixie this spinach & ricotta pie looks very delicious!!!

I love this Pixie!!!! It is similar to my favourite spanakopita...but it has my favourite food group added...POTATOES!!!!!
Wow - that looks truly scrummy! I'm sure Peter M and other Greek bloggers will correct me sharply here, but it doesn't look a world away from spanakopita. Not that that's a bad thing, you understand!
Very nice. I like how you put potato in there :)
Now that looks fantasic! You just have a way with Ricotta my dear! Nice use of leftovers, too! ;)
Looks good. I'm always looking for new quiche-like recipes!
I love the look and sound of this.
Pixie this looks really yummy. Lovely pics.

Oooh, I love those pictures. Stealing this recipe, I think...
That looks so good! The crust is nice and golden brown and it looks light and flaky. And the cheese and spinach filling...mmm...
Beautiful pictures!
This sounds so good to me. I've always been a big spinach eater, even as a kid.
You seem to make a lot of Maltese dishes!! I have never tried any Maltese dishes before, I should try one of your recipes, the pizza especially!
Gosh, you post so often we have to visit you every day to catch up! This dish would go nicely with a bottle of red wine! Nuria, how can you not like cheese?!?
Hi made healthier- thanks for stopping by my blog. The combination is quite simple and delicious.
Nuria- how can you not like cheese? omg i feel i would die w/o it! i'm a huge cheese lover
ghetti- i guess since malta has been ruled from various countries, including greece, it's recipes have been influenced from others
i'd love to make spanakopita in the future...greek cheese being a favourite, i'm sure to love it!
thanks again everyone for stopping by and for your encouraging comments, always appreciated
This is lovely (picts but food too.) I have many greens languishing in my fridge, perhaps I will do it with a melange of greens. Thanks for the post.
I love spinach pie! This one looks so tasty and interesting with the potato. I think I will have to give it a go!
You seem to have come up with another one that I've always yearned to make but somehow never got around to it. The pie really does look delicious.
WOW Pixie...I love the look of this pie. sadly we dont get ready made puff pastry here. Drool is the right word!!
That sounds delicious and your pictures are beautiful.
Wow, that looks amazing!
Ooohh, I have some ricotta in the fridge that I need to use up...
