Method

Start from the dough with the flour and the olive oil and add water until consistency.
When you have your dough, cover it with kitchen towel and rest it for 30 minutes.
Put our spinach in a pot and cook them till we evaporate part of the water.
Out of the fire, incorporate our ricotta, parmesan cheese, salt, nutmeg, and taste your filling.
Prepare your mold with baking paper in the bottom and put butter.
Cut the dough in four pieces and open them the same side of the mold and put two in the bottom filling and two on the top.
With the leftover dough, do our decoration.
Brush it with egg wash and go in the oven at 180° for 30 to 40 minutes.
