INGREDIENTS

Start with a sweet pie crust or the Italian pasta frolla.

Roll dough on a lightly floured surface until a few inches bigger than the pie plate.

Don't stretch the dough and pinch the edges. Cut any overhanging pieces.

If it's too watery, drain it in a colander with a cheesecloth.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl except the egg whites.

Beat them in a clean bowl and add to the ricotta mixture.

Follow instructions in the recipe card and bake until golden.

Serve at room temperature or barely cold.

Refrigerate leftovers covered, to prevent dryness.
