What's not to like in a dish that's filled with cheese and spinach and looks like a pastry? This beautiful pie is not only a creative delight, but it’s also unusually delicious and will get everyone’s attention at any meal. This is one recipe you have to try.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Serves: 6

Difficulty Level: Low

Spinach and Ricotta "Sun Pie"

Ingredients for Dough:

All-Purpose flour - 1 lbs.

Olive oil - 1/3 cup

Dry white wine - 3/4 cup

Salt - 1 tsp

Sesame seeds - A dash (optional)

Ingredients for Filling:

Spinach - 12 oz (350g) (poached )

Ricotta cheese - 12 oz (350g)

Egg - 1

Parmesan cheese - 3 oz (80g) (grated)

Breadcrumbs - A dash

Salt and Pepper - to taste

Method of preparing the Filling:

Combine the ingredients for the dough in a mixer and blend. Once the dough is consistent, form 2 equal-sized balls and place in shrink-wrap, and then set aside.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta and spinach. Add the egg, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Using a rolling pin, create 2 flat circles of dough, roughly 12” (30cm) in diameter.
Before adding the filling, use the breadcrumbs to create a “barrier” between it and the dough. Create a barrier ring adjacent to the rim and another circle in the center. Apply the filling on top of the breadcrumb barrier.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the filling and place the second circle of dough on top of it.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Seal the edges by using a fork for a more aesthetic look.
Place a bowl in the center of the dough, lightly pressing it down to create an indentation in the area between the internal and external filling.
Cut the dough to equal 1” (2.5 cm) parts, making sure to almost reach the bowl. Very gently, twist each piece in a little more than a 90-degree angle.
Bake the pie for 30 minutes, or until the dough turns a light brown.
Optional: brush the center with egg and sprinkle sesame seeds over it.
