Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°
- In a large bowl, combine the well-drained spinach (I squeeze it in a sieve and then in some paper towels to get all the excess water out), parsley, dill, chives, garlic, and green onions together.
- Add the lemon juice, olive oil, eggs, feta cheese, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Brush the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan with melted butter and add two sheets of fillo dough, overlapping so the bottom and sides of the pan are covered. Continue to brush the layers with butter, adding more fillo dough until you have about 12-15 layers of dough.
- Spread the filling evenly in the pan and add 2 sheets of fillo dough on top and brush with butter. Repeat with the remaining sheets, about 12-15, layering 2 sheets at a time and brushing with butter. Try to save 2 sheets that have not ripped for the top layer. Brush with butter and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the fillo dough is golden brown. Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse the flour and salt until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits, about 10 times. While the motor is running, drizzle in the water until a dough forms.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Divide the dough in half; press half the dough up and around the inside of the pan. Set the remaining dough aside covered with plastic wrap.
- Line the pan with foil and fill with dried beans. Bake the dough for 20 minutes and remove the beans and foil. Continue baking the crust until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Let the pan cool on a rack.
- Meanwhile, make the spinach filling: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the spinach, little by little (adding more as the previous batch wilts), and cook, stirring, until completely wilted. Season with the salt and pepper and stir in the parsley, dill, and scallions.
- Drain the spinach mixture in a colander in the sink and let cool.
- Once the spinach is cool, stir in the feta and spread the mixture into the crust. Roll the remaining dough out on a well-floured surface, into a rectangle large enough to cover the baking pan. Top the spinach with the dough and pinch around the sides to seal. Score the top of the pie in the center, brush the surface of the dough with egg wash, and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven, let cool, cut into squares and serve.
GREEK SPINACH PIE-SPANAKOPITA
Steps:
- Thaw the spinach.Place a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the scallions and sauté until they soften. Add the spinach. Sauté until it softens a little, 1-2 minutes. Add another tbsp of olive oil if you feel it is needed. Remove spinach to a colander to drain the liquids.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.Combine the flour, olive oil, and a pinch or two of salt. Gradually add warm water to the flour, about 2 cups. Mix dough well, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rest while you finish making the filling.
- Transfer spinach to a bowl. Add the mint, dill, dry oregano, and cheese. Add the eggs-season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix everything well -I like using my hands- but don't overwork the mixture
- Divide the dough to four pieces, 2 a little bigger than the other two since you are going to use them to cover the sides and bottom of your pan.Oil the bottom and sides of your pan with olive oil.Roll out the two larger pieces of dough into a size about 2 inches larger than your pan. Cover the pieces you are not using with a damp towel, so they don't dry out.
- Place one of the dough sheets to the bottom of the pan, press gently to cover all the sides. Brush a little olive oil. Add the other piece. Brush a little olive oil all over.
- Add the filling evenly all over.
- Roll out the rest of the dough into two pieces, a size similar to your pan. Cover the filling with one piece. Brush olive oil all over. Add the other piece on top. Press gently to cover everything and the sides of the pan that are exposed. With pair of scissors trim the dough to the edge of the pan. Roll the extra dough back in to create a trim for your pie.Brush some olive oil all over. Score gently with a sharp knife.
- Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 50-60 min or until it's golden on top.

YUMMY GREEK SPINACH PIE (SPANAKOPITA)
This is my take on my mother's and grandmother's Spanakopita. Since they never measured anything (and I have also adopted this wacky cooking style) these are my best approximation on measurements. Enjoy!

MY MUM'S GREEK SPINACH PIE (SPANAKOPITA)
Spanakopita is one of my favorite dishes and I usually make it a full dinner dish. This is my mum's recipe and she always makes her own phyllo pastry. It's certainly worth the trouble. The most important thing in a good spinach pie is the filling. In Greece we use fresh spinach and some other greens for their aroma. They grow in the fields, back yards but we can also find them in some stores and open markets. It's hard to find elsewere but you can also try without them. The spinach pie is an any time special treat!

Steps:
- For the filo: Put in a big bowl the flour, the salt and start adding the water until you have a hard dough that doesn't stick to the fingers. Knead for 2-3 minutes.
- (I usually make the dough one day before and I put it in a plastic bag in the fridge. That way it is easier to work it into the filos the next day.).
- Divide the dough in 5 pieces for 5 filos. Place one ball on a dusted-with-flour counter and roll into a big circle, a little bigger than the pan you are using. It's hard work, I know! Start using each filo in the pan and then work with the other piece of dough.
- Filling: Mix the spinach, the sping onions, the leek, the dill and the parsley. Add one teaspoon of salt and start rubbing by hand for 3 - 4 minutes. The greens start getting softer and their liquids start running. Drain them and then add the feta cheese, the pepper and the rice or couscous. Rice helps to absorb the extra liquid.
- Lighty oil a 14 inch in diameter, round baking pan. Layer one filo in the pan, allowing the edges to hang over the sides of the pan. Brush the filo with olive oil and repeat with another filo.
- Put the spinach mixture in and add the olive oil of the filling. Tuck in the pastry draping over the edges.
- Repeat layering with the remaining 3 filos, oiling each one gernerously.
- Using a knife, score the pie into the size pieces you prefer, but avoid cuting through the bottom.
- Brush the pie with some more olive oil.
- Bake at 375°F for 1 hour.
