Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 9-inch tart pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wilt spinach in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until completely dry, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Let spinach cool slightly, then roughly chop and transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Stir ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the spinach until well combined.
Step 5
Lay puff pastry sheet on prepared pan. Spread spinach-cheese filling evenly, leaving 1-inch border.
Step 6
Fold pastry edges over filling, pleating as you go. Some filling will show in the center.
Step 7
Bake until pastry edges are golden brown and center fills have set, 20-25 minutes.
Step 8
Cool 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
