We start with the dough: Put all ingredients in a food processor or knead by hand using a large bowl.
Knead until the dough is solid and homogeneous. Let it rest enclosed in plastic wrap, while you prepare the filling.
Squeeze the boiled spinach well to remove excess water. Cut it into small pieces with a knife then add the ricotta and stir.
Add the egg, Parmesan cheese, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients well.
Take the dough and divide it into two parts. Then with a rolling pin make two circles each with a diameter of about 30 cm.
Put one of the two circles on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle breadcrumbs over it.
Arrange the filling as shown in the image.
Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
Now cover this with the other circle of dough.
Seal the edges of the two circles by pressing with a fork.
At the center of the circle of dough place a small bowl and gently press. Prick the dough along the circumference of the bowl with a fork.
With a knife cut strips measuring a few centimeters wide.
Flip the ends of the strips as shown in the image.
Do the same for each strip you have cut. You will create a spectacular effect!
