Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat) or 180°C (fan-assisted heat). Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Wash and halve the tomatoes.

Add oil to the pan and sauté the onions with a pinch of salt until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute. Add the tomatoes and sauté over medium heat for three to five minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are nicely softened.

Add the spinach and mash it with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat and stir in the cream cheese, ricotta, and cream to make a creamy spinach sauce. Season generously with pepper, a little salt, and nutmeg, and finish with the juice of half a lemon.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Spinach Moisture Magic 💦Thoroughly drain and squeeze out excess moisture from frozen spinach to prevent a watery casserole and ensure a rich, creamy texture.
- Cheese Melting Mastery 🧀Allow cream cheese and ricotta to come to room temperature before mixing to create a smoother, more homogeneous sauce with no lumps.
- Nutmeg Nuance 🌰Freshly grate nutmeg just before adding to the recipe to maximize its aromatic intensity and elevate the overall flavor profile of the dish.
- Gnocchi Golden Technique 🔥Briefly sauté gnocchi in a pan before baking to create a light golden exterior that adds texture and prevents a soggy final dish.
- Lemon Brightness Hack 🍋Add lemon juice just before serving to brighten the creamy sauce and cut through the richness of the cheeses.
