Caramelized Squash Spinach Bacon Quiche

As long as you have fresh ricotta cheese you can make this pie any time. You can have frozen spinach always stored in the freezer and butternut squash and onion in your pantry.  Those are the only fresh ingredients you need.

📋 Italian Spinach Ricotta Pie With Caramelized Squash
This Italian spinach ricotta pie is a luscious healthy tart where ricotta cheese is used instead of cream. The savory spinach filling is mixed with caramelized butternut squash to add a slightly sweet fluffy texture without the extra fat. The pie crust is made with pasta frolla, an Italian short-crust pastry. All these ingredients together make the lightest and most delicious hearty Autumn meal.

Chelsea Market Heidi Pie With French Chevre

Inspired by Pie Master in Chelsea, these small pies are perfect for picnics. If you want a vegetarian version, omit the bacon.

📋Chelsea Market Heidi Pie
This is not their original recipe, but my interpretation of the UK Pieminister Heidi Pie using the same ingredients. Since I am usually making those pies for our picnics, I make 4 small pies but it can also be done in a standard pie tin.
