Why I love Italian Pot Pie
This comforting Italian style pot pie is a one pan meal that is so easy you’ll keep checking your ingredient list to make sure you didn’t forget something. You didn’t! Trust me! I promise it’s very simple. Bonus it’s mouth waveringly scrumptious too! The first time I had this was at bookclub. Kristi always manages to find the most delicious recipes that she can make it little ramekins or individual cute dishes. This one was a DING DONG hit! It was so delicious I wanted two, but I refrained because I’ve been practicing self control. (Stifling a snicker.) You can make this recipe in ramekins if you like, but I modified it so that it could be made in one pan and not have so many dishes. Another plus when cooking. It’s not only the before prep it can also be the after clean up. So by making it all in one pan and only using a bowl to whip up the biscuits you have minimal clean up as well.

Tips & FAQs
That’s it! I know. How can that be it? That’s it. I can hardly believe it myself. The original recipe stressed that you need a really really really super duper good tomato sauce. Not exactly sure what a bad tomato sauce would be, maybe one from the dollar store? I used Hunts brand. I think if you stick to a pretty reputable brand you should be golden!
I hope the carrots don’t scare your kiddos off, if it does, then grate them nice and fine and they will never know they’re there!
I hope you’re able to get around the table with your family this week. If it’s a busy week maybe that table is at a restaurant, or in your van eating sub sandwiches. Where ever that table is savor the moments with your family, take a breath and enjoy the moment!
Enjoy!
