  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 400°F. Fit one pastry sheet into a 9-inch pie plate, leaving the edges overhanging.

  2. 02

    Mix tuna, spinach, ricotta, one egg, Parmesan, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Spread into the crust.

  3. 03

    Top with the second pastry sheet, trim and crimp the edges, then cut steam vents. Brush with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame.

  4. 04

    Bake until deeply golden and set, 28 to 32 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Useful swaps

  • Use canned salmon instead of tuna.
  • Gluten-free pie crust can replace puff pastry.

Why this is a good weeknight call

It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
