   _ (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust
   _ teaspoon all-purpose flour
   
   FILLING
   _ (9-ounce) package frozen leaf spinach in a pouch, thawed, squeezed to drain
   _ cup ricotta cheese
   ___ cup grated Parmesan cheese
   ___ to 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
   ___ teaspoon pepper
   _ egg, separated
   _ teaspoon water


Heat oven to 400°F. Place oven rack at lowest position. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for TWO-CRUST PIE using 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom or 9-inch pie pan. Place 1 prepared pie crust in pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges if necessary.

In medium bowl, combine spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, pepper and egg yolk; blend well. Spread evenly in pie crust-lined pan.

To make lattice top, cut remaining crust into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Arrange strips in lattice design over spinach mixture. Trim and seal edges. In small bowl, combine egg white and water; beat well. Gently brush over lattice. Bake at 400° F. on lowest oven rack for 45 to 50 minutes or until dark golden brown.* Cool 10 minutes; remove sides of pan. Serve warm.

*TIP: Cover torta with foil during last 5 to 10 minutes of baking if necessary to prevent excessive browning.
