And pretty good too. 3 cups flour 3 eggs 1/4 cup olive oil plus some for the pan 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms 1/3 cup raisins 1 onion - diced 2 bunches fresh spinach - washed, stems cut off, lightly chopped 1/4 cup pine nuts 1 tsp herbs de Provence 1/2 cup ricotta cheese Salt and pepper Tart pan or deep pie dish, generously buttered. Large non stick skillet Prep 1) soak the mushrooms in just enough hot water to cover. 2) soak the raisins separately in hot water 3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Tart Dough 1) put the flour on a countertop and make a well in it. 2) add 1 if the eggs, a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup of the oil. Mis inside the well. 3) add the water slowly to make a dough that is a bit soft. Form into a ball a nd pit in in a bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest whil
