2. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with cooking oil spray, ensuring it’s evenly coated to prevent sticking.

4. Prepare Spinach Mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the squeezed spinach, cottage cheese mixture, and chopped green onions until well combined.

5. Layer Spinach Mixture: Spread half of the spinach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a smooth layer at the bottom.

6. Add Artichoke Hearts: Arrange the halved artichoke hearts in a single layer on top of the spinach mixture in the baking dish.

7. Top with Parmesan: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese over the artichoke hearts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

8. Layer Remaining Spinach Mixture: Cover the artichoke hearts with the remaining spinach mixture, spreading it out evenly to cover the dish.

9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake the gratin, uncovered, for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
