Our 4-year-old son, Lukas, named this savory pie for the Saturday morning farmer's market that's held near our state capitol. Most of the fresh ingredients called for in the recipe can be found there and baked into this deliciously different entree. —Teri Schuman, Oregon, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 4 Italian sausage links, casings removed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
  • 1 small yellow tomato, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
  • 1 cup thinly sliced yellow summer squash
  • 1/2 cup julienned green pepper
  • 1/2 cup julienned sweet red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
  • Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, salad dressing mix, garlic powder and fennel seed. Cook and stir for 10 minutes; drain. Cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim pastry even with edge. Fill with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheeses. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top.
