Italian Zucchini Pie


I found this in an older cookbook. It just says, Vegeratian Favourite Vegetarian Recipes.
Ingredients
1lb 5oz zucchini grated and mixed with 1/4 t of salt
5 1/2 oz grated provolone cheese
4 1/2 oz ricotta cheese
3 eggs
2 crushed garlic cloves
2t finely chopped basil
pinch of nutmeg
2 sheets of ready-rolled shortcup pastry
1 egg (for brushing) lightly beaten

1- Preheat oven to 400F and heat a baking tray. grease a 9 in pie dish. Drain the zucchini in a colander for 30 minutes, and squeeze out the excess liquid. place in the bowl with the cheeses, eggs, garlic, basil and nutmeg. Season and mix well.

2- Using half of the pastry, line the base and sides of the dish. Spoon in the filling. Use the remaining to make the lid. Use any extra to make decorations, for the top. Poke all over top, with a skewer, and brush with the extra egg.

3- Bake on hot tray for 50 minutes or until golden.
My boys loved this, and asked for seconds.
