Spanakopita(Greek Spinach Pie) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach
    1 small onion
    1 1/2 lb. Ricotta cheese
    4 eggs
    1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. nutmeg
    1/2 tsp. white pepper
    1 Tbsp. fresh dill, finely chopped
    1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
    4 scallions, finely chopped
    1 1/2 lb. Feta cheese, crumbled
    1/2 lb. butter
    1/2 c. vegetable oil
    1 lb. fillo dough
Preparation
    Cook spinach; drain thoroughly.
    Finely chop small onion and saute in vegetable oil until limp.
    Add spinach to onion; cook until dry.
    Melt butter; combine with vegetable oil.
    Add rest of ingredients to dry spinach and onion mixture (important to be dry, or pie will be runny).
    In an 11 x 14-inch baking pan, begin to layer fillo dough, brushing each layer with butter-oil combination (important to use combination butter-oil, or pie will be greasy). Use only half pound of fillo dough for the bottom of the baking pan, then add spinach mixture.
    Layer rest of fillo dough on top of spinach mixture, brushing each with butter-oil combination.
