1 onion, chopped
½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups ricotta cheese

This recipe was a bit too difficult for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

This pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make recipe.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a hit. I love that it's a vegetarian dish, so I can serve it to my meat-eating friends and family without them missing the meat. It's also a great way to get my kids to eat their spinach.

This spinach and cheese pie is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on a Sunday and it lasted me all week for lunch. It's also really easy to freeze, so I can always have a slice on hand when I'm short on time.
