INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 1 (9 inch) pastry for single-crust pie

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 ⅓ cup finely chopped red onion
    • 1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach

  • Dairy

    • ¾ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
    • 🥛 ¾ cup heavy cream
    • ⅓ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • Eggs & Spices

    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and press pie pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Prick bottom with a fork.

2

Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.

3

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and cook until it starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Cover and cook until condensation builds inside the skillet, then remove the lid, stir, and turn off heat.

4

Blend ricotta, cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, basil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.

5

Spread spinach mixture evenly over crust, then pour in ricotta and egg mixture.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
