Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Heat oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onion and garlic. Add the spinach and 5 tablespoons of water. Cover and sauté over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in 2 liters of boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Drain, refresh in cold water, and let drain. Grease the holes in a muffin tin. Cut the ham into thin strips. Whisk the milk and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven (electric oven: 175°C/fan: 150°C/gas: see manufacturer). Mix the pasta, ham, and spinach and divide them into the holes.

Allow to cool briefly, remove from the molds and serve.
