Creamy pumpkin and spinach gratin with rich ricotta, loaded with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch English spinach, trimmed
  • 126.25 gm reduced-fat cream
  • 400g fresh reduced-fat ricotta cheese (see note)
  • 82.50 ml finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 800g butternut pumpkin, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 small brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. 2. Place spinach and 1 tablespoon cold water in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. 3. Drain and cool the spinach for 3 minutes, then remove excess liquid and roughly chop.
  • In a bowl, mix together cream, ricotta, and parmesan. Season the mixture with pepper. In a greased, 6 cup capacity dish, layer one third of the pumpkin, spinach, onion, and cream mixture. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and the top is lightly browned. Serve.
