This rich and flavorful pie is perfect for a meatless meal! The prep work is a snap and is great for a quick weeknight meal.

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a pie plate or tart pan with nonstick spray. Press pizza dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
In a medium nonstick skillet coated with spray, cook onions and spinach until spinach wilts.
Combine spinach mixture, ricotta, chives, salt, pepper, eggs, and egg whites. Pour into pan. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and top with tomatoes.

    1. Glad you liked it. I bet the homemade crust was good! This was great for a quick crust, though and it did taste good too! Tonight, I am trying a summer squash and ricotta galette. The crust is homemade, so watch for the recipe on the blog. You are doing awesome making all of these recipes!
