Plain ricotta cheese has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid ricotta cheese, please tap it and change its rating to Red.


Low residue diets limit leafy greens and raw herbs. The parsley here is used only as a seasoning (about 3/4 teaspoon per serving), so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh parsley, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Make the crust: Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining. Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed — it should hold without being sticky or wet. Shape into a flat disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, make the filling: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and wilted, about 6–8 minutes.
