Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. In a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom. Spread half of the spinach mixture over the potatoes.
5. Layer the remaining potato slices on top of the spinach, then pour the vegetable broth evenly over the layers.
6. Dollop ricotta cheese over the top layer of potatoes and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
9. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
