Leftovers: Spinach-Ricotta Cakes

I always make to much food. When I aim to cook for one I usually cook for a family of four. So when I cook food for Calzones for a group of eight you can imagine how much I make. Thus I had a little leftover after Calzone night. Don't get me wrong I love leftovers, they are so easy and if the food is good leftovers are even better, but sometimes is can get boring. So with all my leftovers from Calzone night I made spinach-ricotta cakes, kinda like crab cakes, but vegan and un-crabby :D
