- Freshly ground sea salt and black pepper
What you do:

- Prepare pie pan.
- Roll dough and place into pie pan.
- Heat EVOO in lg sautépan .
- Sauté kale about 10-15 min.
- Add about 1 more tbs EVOO and cook onion over med-low heat until softened, about 10 min.
- Add garlic and kale.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for a few min, until kale is heated through.
- In lg bowl, whisk ricotta and eggs.

I hope you like it! I brought it to my office and my colleagues devoured it. I made another batch for Tuesday. I like the soup better than just eating corned beef and cabbage. Enjoy!
