RICETTA IN ITALIANO QUI
SUNNY SPINACH PIE
INGREDIENTS
For the dough:
- 500 g of flour 0
- 90 ml of extra vergin olive oil
- 200 ml of warm dry white wine
- 1 table spoon of salt
For the stuffing:
- 350 g of boiled spinach
- 350 g of ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 100 g of grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
- breadcrumbs
Let’s start from the DOUGH.
Put all the ingredients in a mixer.
Mix them until the dough becomes uniform. (It is possible to mix by hand, too).
Cover it with clingfilm while you prepare the stuffing.
Squeeze the boiled spinach in order to eliminate the water. Cut it with a knife, then mix it with the ricotta cheese.
Add the egg, the grated Parmesan cheese, a generous pinch of fine sea salt and pepper.
Combine all ingredients very well.
Now divide the dough in two parts.
Create two circles of about 30 cm using a rolling-pin.
Place the first circle of dough on a baking paper and spread some breadcrumbs on it.
Put part of the stuffing in the centre of the circle and form another circle with the rest of the stuffing as you can see in the photos.Spread some Parmesan cheese on the stuffing.
Now cover with the second circle of dough.
Seal the borders of the two circles using a fork.
Place a small bowl on the centre of the sunny spinach pie and press lightly. Prickle with a fork all around.
Cut the external border in 2 cm slices using a sharp knife.
Do the same with all the slices.
Preheat oven to 180° and then bake the sunny spinach pie for about 30 minutes.

Hi
I like ur sunny spinach pie. So creative of you:) Can you ps tell me if I can substitute dry white wine with some other non-alchoholic liquid? Look forward to your reply.
No, you can’t Anne. But don’t worry….you don’t taste it
use the same amount of sparkling water! You’ll obtain a tasty pie, I did it!
I am in the United States and have a question about the measurement of flour used. You say to use 17 oz. of flour, what does that compute to cups? Thanks you, this look so good! I will be awaiting your answer.
I’m not able to answer your question Teri because I don’t know how to use cups 🙁
17oz of flour is about 2 cups and maybe plus one tablespoon
should be 4 cups. my math was incorrect.
😉 I can’t understand cups 🙂
exquisite and beautiful this spinach pie is also made in The Netherlands, thanks for the recipe 🙂
you’re welcome 😉
I think the answer to the question of Teri Gross USA is:
1 cup flour (125 gram) = 4 oz. flour
17 oz. = 4 cup (500 gram)
Thankssssssssssss 😉
Thanks Ingrid.
😉
1 Cup=8 ounces!
😉
A cup is 8 ounces but that is volume. When a recipe calls for weight a cup measure is different depending on what dry ingredient you are using. Flour weighs 4 ounces per cup measure as Ingrid said. I am making your recipe right now and really looking forward to trying it. It looks spectacular!
Thankssssssssssssss
Thank you for this recipe can I make it and freeze it for a day or two before baking it and serving. Straight from freezer to oven to table thanks
I think you can….but I never did it
Thanks for this recipe.
Could you please tell me which flour you use. All purpose (refined flour), wheat flour?
Thanks.
Geeta
it’s a wheat flour
this looks amazing!!!
I wonder if it can work with apple pie filling.. and serve as a dessert
Try Jody….and let me know! 😉
Can u serve this at room temperature or should be warm. Making for a party.
It’s better to serve it warm Joyce
Facilissima, buonissima e soprattutto di grandissimo effetto: a masterpiece! Grazie per la ricetta
ps: viene ottima anche sostituendo al vino bianco la stessa dose di acqua frizzante, in questo modo si ottiene la “pasta matta”
si anche…io però la pasta matta la faccio col vino 😉
Hi this looks amazing…did you put any egg or milk on the pie before baking?
I didn’t…because I don’t like the taste of the egg, but you can do that 😉
How do you manage so that each slice doesn’t fall over when cooking?
It doesn’t fall. Trust me! 😉
