In the meantime, clean the spinach, wash it thoroughly and drain it well in a sieve. Peel onions and garlic and dice finely. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot. Fry half of the onions and garlic in it, add spinach, deglaze with broth, bring to the boil and let the spinach collapse.

    Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Put into a sieve and drain well. Coarsely crumble the ricotta. Stir mineral water into the pancake batter. Heat some clarified butter in a pan (23-24 cm Ø), add 1/5 of the batter and bake the pancakes until golden brown. Bake 4 more pancakes the same way. Let them cool down. Spread the spinach and ricotta evenly on the pancakes, roll them up and cut them into approx. 1.5 cm thick, diagonal slices. Place in a greased casserole dish in flakes. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes.
