Crostata di Porri (Leek Pie)

1. Into a deep sided pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add leeks, reduce heat to low and saute for approximately 15-20 minutes or until soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

2. Once leek mixture is cool, add egg, ricotta and Grana Padano. Mix to combine. Preheat oven to 395 degrees (F).

3. Spray a 10″ tart pan with cooking spray. Add pie crust and gently mold it to fit tart pan. Using the tines of your fork, make a few indentations on bottom of pie crust. Spread leek mixture into tart pan, smoothing the top.

4. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool prior to serving.
