While the bacon cooks, chop the onion and mince the clove of garlic if you are using.
2
When the bacon is done, pour off all but 1 Tablespoon of the bacon fat and saute the onions on low heat for 7-10 minutes, until soft but not burned. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3
Coarsely chop the crispy bacon and the roasted pecans and combine in a separate bowl.", "Peel the cooled, roasted yam and mash with the ricotta, eggs, syrup, and seasonings. Fold in the spinach, cooled onions and garlic, and 3/4 of the bacon-pecan mixture.", "Pour yam mixture into the prepared pie shell, and sprinkle the remaining bacon-pecan mixture over the top of the filling.
4
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes, then check to see if the pie filling has puffed a little and cooked through in the middle. If not, continue to bake for up to 60 minutes, checking at about 7-10 minute intervals."]
