To Make the Crust:
1.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
2.
Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together.
Do not overmix.
4.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
To Make the Filling:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and garlic until softened.
3.
Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper and cook until the beef is no longer pink.
4.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and parsley.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until thickened.
To Assemble the Pie:
1.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.
2.
Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges.
3.
Spread the filling evenly over the crust.
4.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
5.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Tips:
For a flakier crust, use a pastry cutter or two forks to work the butter into the flour.
If you don’t have ice water, you can use cold milk or buttermilk instead.
To make the filling ahead of time, cook the ground beef mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When ready to assemble the pie, simply reheat the filling and proceed with the recipe.
