## Steps

1. Trim the spinach stalks, rinse well, then sauté in a pan over high heat until all the moisture has evaporated.
2. Add a knob of butter and a pinch of salt, and cook for a further 5 minutes. (5 min)
3. Transfer to a board and chop finely with a knife.
4. Put the still-warm spinach into a large bowl, add the ricotta, egg, Grana Padano, salt, black pepper and nutmeg.
5. Mix well, then stir in 3-4 tbsp of the béchamel to soften the filling. Combine thoroughly.
6. Cook the conchiglioni in plenty of salted boiling water. (6 min)
7. Drain them very al dente after about 6-7 minutes and drizzle with oil.
8. Fill each shell with a generous spoonful of the filling.
9. Arrange them snugly side by side in a baking dish brushed with béchamel.
10. Pour the remaining liquid béchamel generously over the conchiglioni and sprinkle with Grana Padano.
11. Bake at 200°C for about 25 minutes. (25 min)
