Directions
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Heat a large skillet to medium. Add butter or olive oil and onions. Sauté onions until they become translucent, about 7-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another two minutes. Add flour and stir mixture together. Cook for 2 minutes. Add vegetable stock, Bragg's aminos and tomatoes with juice and cook until sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Turn off heat, and add the zucchini, celery, squash, peas and parsley to the pan. Fold gently to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add entire mixture to a 3 quart baking dish. Cover with pie crust and seal the edges of the crust around the edge of the dish with your hands. Brush with cream and vent the crust with a knife.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until crust is browned. Remove from oven, let cool for ten minutes and serve.
