1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes |

1/4 teaspoon pepper, and |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |

1. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
2. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the plate and flute edges.
3. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil.
4. Bake at 450 for 8 minutes, remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes.
5. Cool on a wire rack and reduce the oven to 350.
6. In a small skillet cook the bacon, onions and red pepper until the veggies are tender and drain.
