Feel free to experiment with different vegetables based on what's in season or what you have on hand. Eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, or even cooked beans would be delicious additions. Squeezing the spinach dry is crucial to prevent a soggy torta. For a richer flavor, use a combination of Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheese. If you don't have leeks, you can substitute with onions or shallots. Let the torta cool slightly before slicing and serving.
