Ingredients

1 lb fresh spinach

1 generous cup Ricotta cheese

1 egg, beaten

2 tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, lightly grated, plus a few Parmesan shavings for garnish

2 Tbl all-purpose flour, mixed with 1 tsp thyme

5 Tbl butter

2 garlic cloves, crushed

salt and pepper to taste

tomato wedges for garnish

Directions

Wash spinach and trim off any long stems. Place in a pan, and cook for 4-5 minutes until wilted. Do this in batches, if necessary. Place in colander, and let drain well and cool.

Place ricotta in bowl, add egg and fennel seeds, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in Parmesan.

Squeeze as much excess water as possible from the spinach, then finely chop. Stir spinach into cheese mixture.

Using about 1 Tbl of the spinach and cheese mixture, shape into a ball, then flatten to form a patty. Gently coat with seasoned flour. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Fill a large skillet halfway with water and bring to a boil. Carefully add the patties and poach for 3-4 minutes, or until they rise to the surface. Remove with slotted spoon, and transfer to individual plates or serving platter.

Melt butter in a pan, add the garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour garlic butter over the patties, season with black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

Is there a way to make this into a Pie recipe let me know.

Trigger, I've never tried making this into a pie, but I would think you might be able to, following the directions up to the point of poaching, but then putting the mixture into a pie shell. I couldn't tell you how long to bake it, but you could probably keep a close eye on it, and try testing it in the center with a knife, to see if the knife comes out clean. (that would mean it's done) all I can suggest is to give it a try - that's how some of the best recipes come about! :-)
