Ingredient prep checklist
- Shallot: 1 shallot, finely minced (about 1/2 cup)
- Garlic: 6 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- Ricotta Cheese: 2 pounds fresh ricotta cheese (see note)
- Milk: 1 quart (4 cups) whole milk
For the Spinach: Heat olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add a few large handfuls of spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted. Continue adding spinach a handful at a time until it is all in the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until spinach expels its moisture and most of that moisture evaporates, leaving a dry bottom as you stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
