Spinach Pie

Now that I am able to go to the grocery store on weekdays, I can hardly ever bring myself to go on a busy weekend. Our pantry was pretty bare on Saturday, and not wanting to hit up the Superstore, I made due and threw some stuff together. It actually turned out better than I expected!

Crust:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons milk

Combine all ingredients with a fork. Form into a ball with hands. Roll out and press into a 9' pie plate. Pierce with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake at 400' for 10 minutes.

Filling:
1 orange pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Sautée onion and pepper with a touch of oil until onion starts to become transparent. In a large bowl, combine spinach and cheeses. Add onions and pepper mixture. Add seasoning and stir to combine. Spread into pie crust, cover with foil, and bake at 350' for 30 minutes. Uncover for the last 10 minutes.
