A simple quiche recipe with ricotta as the cheese of choice.

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Turn the spinach into a colander and press to remove moisture.

3. Prick sides and bottom of pastry shell. Place foil on bottom surface, weigh down with handful of dry beans or raw rice, and bake 10 minutes in oven. Cool shell. Turn oven down to 350.

4. In 9 inch or larger fry pan, heat butter until hot and cook onion until soft, but not brown, stirring often. Stir in spinach. Continue stirring a few minutes over low heat. Mixture will look dry.

5. Remove from heat. Combine spinach mixture with the rest of the ingredients (ricotta, eggs, parmesan, nutmeg salt, pepper). Spoon into pie shell.

6. Bake for 35-40 minutes in pre-heated 350 degree oven. Set quiche on a rack and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
