The key to this delicious pie is making your own almond ricotta! Check out my recipe for almond ricotta before making this dish. If you are short on time, Kitehill makes a good almond ricotta that you can buy at most grocery stores.
This pie goes well with a salad and makes for a nice light dinner or lunch, perfect for brunch and can be served as a dip with chips or crackers. My family loves this dish and is a vegan take on an old Italian classic my mother used to make when I was a kid.
