Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water and drain any excess moisture. Roughly chop the spinach leaves.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the cooked spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the creamy mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a greased, oven-safe baking dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella on top of the mixture for extra cheesiness.
