Vegetables on Monday! Even if pies are always a life saver, sometimes we tend to resort to the same fillings way too often. Besides being vegetarian, this option is both light and super tasty! I sliced up the zucchini with a mandolin, but you can cut them whichever way you want. The thinner they are, the better they will cook.

- For the crust: Mix flour and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Add 3 – 4 tbsp ice cold water to form the dough. Do not knead. Shape into a flat disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
