Italian butternut squash leek sausage pie

It’s been Italian pie week and coincidentally, my work colleagues and myself were cooking food to sell at the office to raise money for ‘Cook for Syria‘. So I decided to cook a pie for my colleagues, while at the same time raising money for a great cause. Here is the recipe for this delicious Butternut squash, leek and sausage pie. It lasted five minutes on the plate. You can say it was definitely a success.

Italian Butternut squash, leeks and sausage pie

Ingredients (4-6 people)

400g shortcrust pastry (pre-rolled)

600g butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks.

Olive oil

Salt & Pepper

1 tsp dry sage

1 leek, thinly sliced

300g Italian sausagemeat

1 egg

100ml double cream

4 tbsp Parmesan, grated

Salt & Pepper

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 165c
