Cooking Vegetarian Pumpkin, basil and ricotta pie

Heres a fun vegie pie thatll help you get over that midweek hump. This vegetarian filo swirl isnt just about good looks – its stuffed to the brim with flavour.

  1. Preheat oven to 220C. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin and stir for 8-10 minutes or until golden and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the ricotta and dip in a bowl. Stir in the pumpkin and season.
  3. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cover filo with a clean tea towel, then a damp tea towel (this prevents it from drying out). Lay 1 filo sheet on a clean work surface and spray with olive oil. Top with another filo sheet. Spoon one-quarter of the pumpkin mixture along 1 long edge, leaving a 2cm border. Roll to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining filo, oil and pumpkin mixture to make 3 more rolls.
  4. Starting at the centre of the tray, arrange 1 filo roll, seam-side down, in a coil shape. Place another filo roll at the end of the coil and wrap around. Repeat with remaining filo rolls to extend the coil. Spray with oil.
  5. Place tomatoes on a separate baking tray. Spray with oil and season. Bake the pie and tomatoes for 10-15 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and tomatoes are just tender.
  6. Combine the rocket, lemon juice and remaining oil in a bowl. Season. Serve with the pie and roasted tomatoes.
