Vegetable Pie

Hmm... I don't have much to say about this one. I was basically looking to use up some veggies and some pie crust. Exciting, right?


Vegetable Pie
1 pie crust
2 tblsp olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
1 large zucchini, sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 bunches spinach (I'm guessing this is about one bag), chopped
1/4 cup leftover pizza sauce (or, you know, any tomato option you like - I was going to go with chopped tomatoes and some fresh herbs, but the kids had other ideas)
1/2 cup fresh peas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Saute zucchini and onion until onion is softened. Add garlic and saute for a minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted. I then set about trying to dry out the veggies. First, I dumped everything into a colander and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then I dumped all of them out onto some paper towels and let them sit while I rolled out the pie dough and fitted it to a 9" pie plate. Spread spinach and onion as the bottom layer of the pie. Layer zucchini on top. Drizzle pizza sauce on top of zucchini. Sprinkle peas on top of that. Top the whole thing with cheddar and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
