Steps:
- Combine the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, ½ cup (120 ml) of olive oil, ricotta, salt, and pepper in a food processor and puree until blended and smooth. Set aside.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini, yellow squash and carrots into ribbons.
- Cut the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices, then slice in half lengthwise.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) tart dish with butter using a piece of parchment paper.
- Lay the puff pastry in the tart dish and delicately press it flat against the bottom and up the sides. Crimp any dough hanging over the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper over the pastry and pour the rice evenly on top. The rice helps keep the bottom of the crust from rising while baking.
- Parbake the crust for about 15 minutes, until the puff pastry starts to cook.
- Carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the rice (save for using in other recipes or discard). Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the ricotta pesto mixture evenly on the bottom of the tart.
- Starting from the outside, line the walls of the tart with the veggie ribbons, alternating veggies, until the entire shell is filled.
- Sprinkle the oregano on top and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the veggies are tender.
- Let cool for a few minutes.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

4 LAYER PIE
This dessert used to be the hit of our "Young Married" Sunday School Class potlucks and it is still a delicious dessert today! This is a very versatile dessert as you can really use any flavor of pudding you like. I have used lemon, butterscotch, and banana cream in the past and they have turned out really well. You could also combine two like chocolate and banana cream or create your own! I have posted the original recipe though.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
- Follow the recipe carefully: This recipe is designed to be simple and easy to follow, but it's important to pay attention to the instructions and measurements. Any deviations could affect the final outcome of the pie.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of the pie. Use fresh, ripe fruit, high-quality chocolate, and real butter for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense pie crust. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the pie before baking: Chilling the pie before baking helps to set the crust and prevent it from shrinking. This also results in a more flaky and tender crust.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly: The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the pie and adjust the baking time as needed.
