* Cooking spray
* 2 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
* 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
