Layer about 5 sheets of phyllo, one at a time, covering bottom of dish, sides, and draping over edges. Brush butter in between layers. Fill with half of spinach filling. Add 3-5 more phyllo sheets, brushing butter in between layers. Add remaining spinach filling and top with all remaining phyllo sheets, brushing butter between sheets. Roll up and create a lip with all overhanging phyllo sheets. crumble any broken sheet bits on top. Drizzle any remaining clarified butter over top. Bake for 45 min. at 350°F or 180°C. Spanakopita is done when puffed and golden. Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
