I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Defrost spinach and drain excess water. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease a round pie dish...20-23cms.
Add onion, bacon and garlic to bowl, chop for 5 secs/sp 5.
Add oil and saute for 5 mins/varoma/sp1.
Add drained, spinach, ricotta, eggs and seasonings (I also add a handful of grated tasty or parmesan if I have some in the freezer). Mix for 10secs/
"Counter-clockwise operation" /sp4.
Working as quickly as possible so the pastry doesn't dry out, lay pastry sheets with the long side towards you...or 'landscape'. Bush the top half with butter and fold in half to form a long skinny rectangle. Place this across the dish so it lies down one side, across the bottom and up the other side. Overhang is fine. Repeat with another sheet and place this rectangle opposite the first. ie left to right, then top to bottom of the pie dish. Then repeat with two more sheets and they will fill in the gaps of the diagonal. When you're done, the whole dish should be filled with a layer of pastry sheets.
Brush the entire inside with more butter then place one more sheet over the entire inside of the dish. Pour filling into dish.
Brush another sheet with butter and fold this one short side to short side to form a square, then place it on the top of the filling Bring the overhanging edges and fold them over the top of this layer. Now you should have a neat top to your pie with all the overhanging edges folded in. Take two sheets of pastry, tear them in half, scrunch them up a bit and arrange them on the top of the pie. Drizzle with remaining butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and cooked inside. You might have to cut in the middle to see. It is best to let it set for 5 minutes before cutting to serve.
Tip
You can also wrap this mixture into individual parcels, in which case I suggest fresh ricotta would be better than a tub of smooth. It will be very runny and difficult to work with otherwise.
You could use either for the pie, but fresh is just a little less runny and therefore easier to work with.
You can freeze individual parcels...and the pie too I suppose.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
