- 1 cup tomato pasta sauce with mushrooms and onions, or other variety

- 1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)

Step2Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked. Drain well. Add pasta sauce; mix well. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer about 10 minutes or until hot.

Step4Bake at 350°F 25 to 35 minutes or until filling is hot. If necessary, cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Sprinkle pie with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup olives. Bake 4 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
