Prepare mashed potato seasoned with butter and salt and pepper. While this is still warm add the crab, all vegetables, ricotta cheese and egg to the potatoes. Mix all the ingredients well into the potatoes. Adjust the seasoning and pour the mixture into the pie shell and spread this evenly to the sides and middle of the pie. Using water lightly brush the edge of the pie shell and place the top crust over the top of the pie and crimp the edges. Egg wash the top and edge then place the pie into a 400°F preheated oven. Bake at this temperature for 20 minutes and reduce the heat to 375°F and finish baking for an additional 30 minutes. Once the pie is removed from the oven allow it to rest 30 minutes to an hour and portion this and serve it with a cream sauce or plain.

Makes 6-8 servings.
