Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
6 eggs
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup ricotta cheese
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 double crust ready-to-use pie crust
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Separate one egg and set yolk aside; beat egg white and remaining eggs in a bowl. Fold spinach, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and sausage into eggs.
  • Line a 10-inch pie plate with bottom pastry; pour filling into crust. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal, and flute edges; cut slits in pastry. Beat water and remaining egg yolk in a small bowl; brush the mixture over top of pie.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

The pie was a little dry. I think it would have been better with a creamier filling. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some additional herbs and spices.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this pie was surprisingly good! The sausage and cheese really helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach. I would definitely make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time. Overall, this is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe.

This Italian spinach sausage pie was a hit with my family! The flavors of the sausage, spinach, and cheese were perfectly balanced. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
