It’s the weather that dictates what you crave for your supper, well at least it is for me. In these chilling evenings for me it’s comforting foods and even the word pie is comforting, with its crispy top and luscious creamy filling. Now the idea of making your own puff pastry may not lend itself to the appeal of making a pie, so I have made this pie with a readymade butter puff pastry.

This is the traditional way that they make meatballs in Sicily. I mix together minced pork and ricotta with the ground beef. The pork brings flavour and juiciness and the ricotta brings a lovely lightness. This is a great freezer recipe, so make double and you can store it away. It’s nice to serve a green vegetable alongside to lighten the dish; I use cavolo nero but you could choose purple sprouting broccoli, shredded cabbage or a green salad.
