Kale, Butternut Squash, and Pancetta Pie

This vibrant kale, butternut squash and pancetta pie offers a wonderful balance of flavours and textures. Encased in layers of crisp, golden-brown filo pastry, the filling combines roasted squash with salty Italian pancetta and earthily fragrant sage. The addition of iron-rich kale and sharp Parmigiano-Reggiano makes this a sophisticated savoury option that works beautifully for both a weekend lunch and an impressive midweek dinner.

As a high-protein savoury dish, it provides a satisfying meal that doesn't feel overly heavy, thanks to the lightness of the filo pastry compared to traditional shortcrust. It is an excellent way to enjoy seasonal greens and squash during the cooler months, providing plenty of nutrients in every slice. Serve it warm alongside a crisp green salad or some roasted root vegetables for a complete, wholesome meal.

Ingredients for Kale, Butternut Squash, and Pancetta Pie

  • 45ml de aceite de oliva

  • 1 (1-pound) piece butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (525g )

  • 3/4 cucharaditas de sal

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra

  • 1 cebolla mediana, finamente picada

  • 4 (1/8-inch-thick) slices pancetta* (Italian unsmoked cured bacon

  • 100g ), finely chopped

  • 3 dientes de ajo, finamente picados

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage

  • 675g kale, stems and centre ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped (3850ml )

  • 60ml de agua

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 8 (17- by 12-inch) phyllo sheets, thawed if frozen

  • 30 g de Parmigiano-Reggiano finamente rallado (120 ml)

  • a 9-inch round heavy nonstick springform pan

Coloca la rejilla del horno en la posición media y precalienta el horno a 218°C.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté squash with 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, stirring frequently, until browned and just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and spread in 1 layer to cool.

Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and reduce heat to moderate, then cook onion, pancetta, garlic, sage, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in kale and water and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until kale is just tender, about 6 minutes. (Skillet will be full, but volume will reduce as vegetables steam.) Cool, uncovered, to room temperature.

Brush springform pan with some of butter. Unroll phyllo and cover stack with plastic wrap and a dampened kitchen towel. Keeping remaining phyllo covered and, working quickly, gently fit 1 sheet into pan with ends overhanging and brush with butter (including overhang). Rotate pan slightly and top with another sheet (sheets should not align) and brush in same manner. Repeat with 5 more sheets, rotating pan each time so sheets cover entire rim.

Spread half of kale mixture in phyllo shell. Gently stir together squash and cheese in a bowl and spread evenly over kale. Top with remaining kale.

Put remaining sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush with butter. Fold in half crosswise and butter again. Fold again (to quarter) and brush with butter, then lay over centre of filling. Bring edges of phyllo up over filling (over quartered sheet of phyllo) to enclose. Brush top with butter and bake until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool pie in pan on a rack 5 minutes. Remove side of pan and transfer to a platter. Cut into wedges (leave bottom of pan under pie).
