In a large bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, and chopped red bell pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. (5 minutes)

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly. Aim for a slightly thinner layer in the center to ensure even cooking. (2 minutes)

05 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (45 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set further. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
To drain the ricotta, place it in a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl for at least 30 minutes.
Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for extra depth of flavor.
This pie can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. It also tastes great cold!
