Preparing Filling
- Preheat your oven to 400F
- Toss sliced zucchini and mushrooms in Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil with salt and pepper.
- On a medium sheet pan, roast the zucchini and mushrooms for 10-12 minutes, setting aside to cool when done.
- In a medium pan, heat up 2 Tablespoons of Olitalia Tuttolio with 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- When garlic becomes fragrant, add in spinach to sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- Once the spinach is sautéed, spread out on paper towel lined sheet pan or plate to drain off excess oil. Pat down with paper towels to remove all moisture and place it in the refrigerator to cool.
- Once cooled, add spinach and ricotta cheese to a food processor and blend together for 30 seconds. Set aside in a bowl for later.
