How to make Glorious Sausage Pie:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Coat a frying pan with oil. Heat pan and add onions; cook until soft. Remove Premio Sausage from casing, add to pan, break up and cook until browned. Remove excess fat. Add spinach to pan and saute for a few additional minutes. Let mixture cool a little in fridge.
2. While mixture is cooling, add eggs, riccotta, parmesean and mozzarella cheeses to a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste; mix well until everything melds together.
3. Once sausage mixture has cooled, add to cheese mixture; mix well. Pour into frozen pie crusts. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, making sure to watch for overbrowning of crust. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
