Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality Italian sausage. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and spices.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach by hand. Just be sure to chop it very finely, so that it blends well with the other ingredients.
- Be careful not to overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still bright green.
- If you don't have a pie crust mix, you can use a store-bought pie crust. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta is always a good choice, but you can also try using fontina, Asiago, or provolone.
Conclusion:
Italian Sausage Spinach Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend brunch. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With its flaky crust, savory filling, and gooey cheese, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
