  9. Take one of the smaller balls to roll out your first filo sheet. Use an even broomstick as a rolling pin because the dough doesn't stick to it.

  13. Roll out the larger ball into a filo sheet that is slightly thicker than the others and with a diameter of 60 cm. This filo sheet is the bottom of your pie and it should be larger so that it falls out the sides of the baking tray. Roll out the two remaining balls into thin filo sheets of 40 cm diameter.

  20. Return to the baking tray and pour in 1/3 of the filling over the large filo sheet. Spread it (the feta cheese and the spaghetti) evenly throughout the baking tray and tip the pot so that 1/3 of the liquids also pours into the baking tray.
