Ingredients

  • 50g Pine Nuts
  • 100g Pancetta or Bacon
  • 1tsp Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 300g Fresh Spinach
  • 250g Hanini Irkotta
  • 20g Zanetti Grated Parmesan
  • 5 Santa Maria Tortillas
  • 100g Emborg Shredded Mozzarella
  • Salt & Pepper

Method

  1. Toast the pine nuts in a skillet. You can do this in the oven as well. Fry the pancetta until crispy in its own fat. Remove using a spoon.
  2. Discard most of the fat and add a teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Crush 2 garlic cloves and add the spinach.
  3. Cover and sweat the spinach on a low flame for about 5 minutes until it shrinks. Remove access water and discard the garlic cloves.
  4. Transfer the spinach to a large bowl, add the irkotta, pine nuts, pancetta, and parmesan, and season to taste. Mix well then finish off with the mozzarella.
  5. In an oven-proof skillet or baking dish, place 3 tortillas to cover the bottom and place another in the centre to create a base. Press well.
  6. Fill them up with the mixture and put some more mozzarella on top. Place another tortilla on top and fold the edges firmly.
  7. Place an oven-proof lid to hold them in place.
  8. Bake in a preheated 180°C oven for about 30 minutes or until the tortillas start to brown nicely.
  9. Allow it to cool down for about 10 minutes. Flip the ‘pie’ onto a chopping board, cut, and serve.
