Ingredients
* 3 tablespoons olive oil * 1 large onion, chopped * 1 bunch green onions, chopped * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 2 pounds spinach, rinsed and chopped * 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley * 2 eggs, lightly beaten * 1/2 cup ricotta cheese * 1 cup crumbled feta cheese * 8 sheets phyllo dough * 1/4 cup olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
2. 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.
