Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 9 × 9 inch square baking pan.
Wash green onion, parsley and spinach; chop as directed. Peel and chop onion.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic until soft and lightly browned; stir in spinach and parsley; saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta cheese, and salt and pepper to taste; stir in spinach mixture.
Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with 2 more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture into pan; fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil; layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
Bake 30 - 40 minutes, until golden brown.
Cut into squares; serve hot.
