As I mentioned a million times, I love Martha Stewart Living. It’s the best magazine.
Attached to it comes Everyday Food.
In October’s issue, there was a recipe for Skillet Spinach Pie. I love spanakopita but never thought about making it before.
I can’t even explain to you how darn easy it was.
If you’re in the mood for this, but don’t want to make a full dinner, check out our easy Spanakopita Puff Pastry Bites instead.

almost real greek spanakopita, next time try to add 1 medium chopped leek and sauted with onions. Also instead of ricotta cheese you can use low fat (2%) original greek yogurt

Thanks so much for the tips Erenee. I will definitely use Greek yogurt instead next time. I would have never thought of that. I wasn't crazy about adding all that ricotta, but I didn't know a substitute. Can I sub 8oz. yogurt for 8oz. ricotta?
