ITALIAN RICOTTA PIE
This is an old Italian recipe that is usually made for the holidays, particularly for Easter, but is good any time of the year. Note that baking time is actually 1 hour and 20 minutes. When I enter that in the cook time, it comes out as a crazy fraction.

Steps:
- To make crust, mix flour and salt in medium bowl.
- Cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Stir in egg yolk and water.
- Roll out, place crust in 10" glass pie plate and flute the edges.
- For filling, combine ricotta cheese, flour, salt, lemon and orange rinds and vanilla.
- Beat in eggs and add sugar gradually.
- Pour filling into crust and bake at 350° until firm and light brown (approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes).
ITALIAN RICOTTA PIE
Please note: The dough for the crust is very delicate and very soft. This is normal and if it breaks as you put it into the pie plate, it can easily be repaired by pressing the tear together. (So don't worry at all if it doesn't roll out and transfer perfectly to the pie plate.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring 2 or more quarts of water to boil on stove. In the bottom rack of the preheated oven, place a baking dish such as a 9×13-inch baking dish and fill with the hot, boiled water. Place another oven rack directly over that to next rack position.
- In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder and sugar. Stir to combine.
- In a smaller bowl combine egg yolks, milk, olive oil, and both extracts.
- Make a hole in the center of the flour and pour in liquid. With a wooden spoon, mix to combine. (If the mixture gets too difficult to combine with a wooden spoon, used your hands to finish mixing).
- Flour your countertop well and place the dough ball in the center, pressing to form a round disc. Keep flouring, pressing and flipping. Flour a rolling pin and gently roll to a circle an inch or two larger than a deep dish 9-inch pie plate.
- Either fold the dough in half and place over half the pie plate, flipping other half over or roll the dough onto your rolling pin than back over the pie plate. Again, the dough is soft and delicate so be gentle.
- Use your fingers to form and press the dough into the confines of the pie dish, crimping the top edge all the way around (as you would any other pie) by pinching with thumb and index finger. Set aside, the shell is not pre-baked.
- Make the filling by placing the ricotta in a large bowl and mixing in sugar until combined.
- Add whole eggs, egg whites and vanilla and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. If lumpy, use a wire whisk to smooth out.
- Pour directly into unbaked crust. Cover the crust edge with foil or pie crust shield so the edges don't get too browned as the pie bakes.
- Place pie in the center of oven on the rack over the water bath and bake for one hour and ten minutes. Turn off oven but leave the pie in the oven for ten more minutes. (Don't open the oven door during any of the time that the pie is in the oven.)
- Carefully remove the pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool completely before refrigerating - if you put the pie in the refrigerator while still warm, it will weep slightly and collect moisture on top.) Chill overnight uncovered.
- Once chilled, cut and serve.
RICOTTA PIE (OLD ITALIAN RECIPE)
This is an old Italian recipe for a pie with a sweet crust--just like from the old country. My in-laws are Italian and they say that this is the best pie. It is always requested for Christmas. Mini chocolate bits and lemon rind can be mixed into the batter.

Steps:
- Beat the 12 eggs, 2 cups sugar and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in the ricotta cheese and the chocolate chips, if using (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and 1 cup sugar together. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 4 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Divide dough into 4 balls, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two deep-dish pie plates.
- Roll out 2 of the balls to fit into the pie pans. Do not make the crust too thick, as it will expand during cooking. Do not flute the edges of the dough. Roll out the other 2 balls of dough and cut each into 8 narrow strips for the top of the crust. (Alternately, you can use cookie cutters and place the cutouts on the top of the pies.)
- Pour the ricotta filling evenly into the pie crusts. Top each pie with 8 narrow strips of dough or cookie cut-outs. Brush top of pie with milk for shine, if desired. Place foil on the edge of crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes; remove foil. Rotate pies on the rack so they will bake evenly. Continue to bake until a knife inserted in the center of each pie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:
- Zest the lemon and divide the zested lemon equally for crust and filling. Put aside the filling half for later.
- Beat together half the zest, 1 egg plus 1 yolk. set aside.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk, or simply dump into a food processor.
- Add egg mixture, mix together or just add if using processor.
- Add the cold butter. mash with a fork, or chop together with butter knives or mezzaluna. If using food processor, pulse a few times until well combined.The mixture will seem dry and mealy. That is correct.
- Dump the crust mixture unto a marble pastry board or lightly floured surface and knead until you can comfortable make a ball. It will seem very crumbly at first, have patience. If you absolutely have to add a teaspoon of lemon juice to moisten dough.
- Wrap up the dough ball with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle larger than your pie pan by at least a couple inches on each side.
- Roll the crust gently into the rolling pin to help transfer it to the pie pan. Tuck to into the pan and trim off excess dough. If you have any tears in the crust simply fill them in and smooth out. The dough is forgiving.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork every inch or so. If you have pie weights spread them over bottom of crust.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. It will be cooked through, but not starting to brown.
- While baking the crust, start making the crust. Begin by whisking together the eggs and extra white in a large bowl.
- Add the rest of the filling ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth enough to finish mixing with a whisk.I do not recommend using an appliance for this step. It is best done by hand, so as to not break down the ricotta too much.
- Pour the filling batter into the crust.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. It is done when roughly halfway to the center is set, but middle is still jiggly.
- After baking allow the pie to cool fully before serving. Place in refrigerator once fully cooled.

Steps:
- Place spinach in a skillet over medium heat and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, squeeze dry, and chop finely.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat and add onion. Cook until onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 2 whole eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper into the cooled spinach mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish.
- Unwrap the phyllo dough. Keep covered with a damp cloth to prevent phyllo sheets from drying out.
- Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over the buttered dish flush with the edge so that excess phyllo hangs over on only one side of the dish. Brush lightly with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo at a slight angle to the first one. Continue in this manner, with up to 12 sheets, brushing each sheet with butter and working clockwise to lay each at a slight angle to the previous sheet.
- Spoon cheese and spinach mixture evenly into the phyllo-lined dish. Using the back of a spoon, make six indentations in the filling, then carefully place 1 egg yolk in each. Season each yolk with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of melted butter.
- Take the extra phyllo dough hanging over the edges of the dish and fold it over to the centre to cover the filling, 1 sheet of phyllo at a time, brushing each one with butter. Brush the top of the whole pie with butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo pastry is a dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
