I'm not a huge fan of ricotta cheese, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The spinach and pine nuts helped to balance out the richness of the ricotta. I would definitely make this again.

This dish is a great weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use frozen spinach to make it even easier.
