This is a killer recipe and very close to one that a second generation Greek chef gave to me. The fresh spinach and feta with ricotta are classic. His version uses just a touch of white pepper. Dynamite recipe.

Thank you, deedeec, for sharing this recipe - this sounds like the spanokopita I love so much at some of our Greek restaurants in the Chicago area...I can't wait to try this one out on the family next time we are together - I'm sure it is going to be a winner!

Chicago has great Greek food. This recipe has never failed to please. Even my kids will eat it! Getting kids to eat spinach is always a coup.
