Time 53m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (15 ounce) package frozen pie crust
3 (3.5 ounce) links hot Italian sausage, casings removed
¼ cup chopped red onion
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup pesto
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
2 small zucchinis, thinly sliced
¼ cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove pie crust from the freezer.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage, until juices are released, about 3 minutes. Add red onion, red bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until sausage is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes more. Drain and discard grease.
  • Combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, pesto, Romano cheese, lime juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and lemon pepper in a small bowl. Spread over the pie crust. Sprinkle the sausage mixture over the cheese mixture. Arrange zucchini and walnuts on top. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned, about 30 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown. I think I needed to bake it for a little longer.

This pie was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
