Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced carrots and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Pour in white wine and simmer until reduced, about 3-4 minutes.

Mix in broth, bay leaves, and cooked cotechino, simmering for 10 minutes.

Remove bay leaves and let the mixture cool slightly.

Roll out puff pastry and line a pie dish with it.

Fill the pastry with the cotechino mixture, spreading evenly.

Cover with another layer of puff pastry, sealing the edges.

Cut slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
