In reply to Barbara Nelson. The pesto is just for complexity of flavor. We do find that browning the shallots makes a difference in the end result!

I plan on making this later in the week but am wondering about the step of pan sautéing the beans (along with the shallots) to crisp them up. It seems like an extra unnecessary step as I doubt you will notice any difference in the end result. Am I wrong? Also, do you actually taste the pesto or does it simply add a deepened (unidentifiable) flavor to the dish?

This was delicious, but if I had it to do over again I might steam the potatoes and carrots until nearly cooked before adding them to the pan. Given how big the chunks are trying to cook them just by frying was more time consuming. I ended up adding some extra broth and braising to speed up the process.

In reply to Dani. There are several brands that are vegetarian and do not use rennet.

In reply to Sarah. We haven't tried it, but I think the filling would be fine for a day or 2 in the fridge. I wouldn't recommend freezing.

how far in advance could I make the filling and/or would the filling freeze well?

Just made this for dinner and it was absolutely wonderful! I did turn it into a double crust and adjusted the time and temp accordingly, but what a wonderful dish. Thanks!

Parmesan cheese is not vegetarian

Lazy woman’s version: make filling as directed (yum!). Pour said filling into a greased pie pan. Top with store-bought puff pastry. Melt a bit of butter, stir in a sprinkle of dried sage. Brush butter/sage mixture on top of puff pastry. Bake as directed. Sooooooo gooooood!

How would turnips and parsnips be in lieu of potatoes?

In reply to Kathrin. Oh we are SO so glad to hear it! Fresh sage would be perfect. We agree, it does taste best fresh out of the oven! There are a few things that could speed up prep (make dough in advance, make filling in advance), but it is better freshly made.

Hi! Could I use chickpeas instead of the cannellini beans? This looks so delicious!
