Delicious, satisfying, and very easy to make. My kids will even eat spinach this way! We serve them with warmed spaghetti sauce to dip them in and a salad. Yum!

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning

  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and spinach. Set aside.
