This pie was a bit too expensive to make. I think I could have found a cheaper recipe that would have tasted just as good.

The crust on this pie was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred a thinner, more flaky crust.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli rabe, but this pie changed my mind! The bitterness was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the ricotta and the savory flavors of the other ingredients. I'll definitely be making this again.
