Hazırlanışı

1. For the pastry, in a food processor mix the flour and salt, then add the butter and pulse just until the mixture comes together in pea sized pieces. Add 1 tablespoon ice water at a time until the mixture comes together as a dough. Remove from the food processor and shape into a disc. Sprinkle both sides with flour, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit for 10 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with flour and use a rolling pin to roll out to a 14 inch circle about 1/8th of an inch thick. preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Peel the potato and cut into 1 inch pieces, then cook in boiling salted water until fork tender, and drain. In a frying pan, cook up the pancetta or bacon until light brown, then add the onion and cook until it is translucent and soft. Add the potato to the pan and season everything with the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the potato just begins to brown. In a bowl, mix together the cooked greens, eggs, ricotta, and grated cheese. Mix well and then fold in the pancetta potato mixture. Place your 14 inch round pie crust on a lightly greased baking sheet and spoon the greens into the center. Smooth with a spoon, leave a 4 inch border all around, and fold the outer edges of the pie crust over the greens, pinching it in places to make it fit. Brush exposed edges of the pie crust with the egg wash and bake in the preheated over for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool to room temperature before serving.
