Ingredients
Serves 6 to 8
    * 10 ounces spinach, well washed, tough stems removed
    * 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    * 1 onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
    * 2 cloves garlic, minced
    * 1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
    * 2 large whole eggs
    * 2 large egg whites
    * 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    * 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
    * 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)
    * 1/4 teaspoon cumin
    * 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
    * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    * 8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
    * Cooking spray
Directions
   1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roughly chop spinach leaves; set aside. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add spinach; cook until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a colander to cool and drain. When mixture is cool enough to handle, press lightly with paper towels to remove excess moisture; set aside to cool.
   2. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, eggs and egg whites, parsley, dill, Parmesan, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in cooled spinach mixture; set aside.
   3. Dampen a large kitchen towel with water; squeeze dry. Unroll phyllo; place on work surface. Cover with plastic wrap and then the kitchen towel. Lightly coat a 9-inch Pyrex pie plate with cooking spray. Remove 1 sheet of phyllo, keeping remaining phyllo covered; place in prepared baking dish. Coat lightly with cooking spray. Repeat with 7 more sheets of phyllo, spraying between each layer. Trim edges with scissors, leaving a slight overhang.
   4. Spoon filling into the dish, spreading it evenly. Bake until golden brown and filling is set, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into wedges.
