● Ricotta Crostata
1 recipe basic pasta frolla
3 eggs
3 cups ricotta
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
zest of 1⁄2 lemon, grated
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
confectioners' sugar for garnish
Prepare the crust according to the basic pasta frolla recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Using an electric mixer, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest. Add the milk slowly, while whisking, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the baking powder and mix well. Pour the mixture into the crust, or spread a thin even layer if making a free-form crust. Cover the top with waxed paper and transfer to the oven to bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until firm. Serve at room temperature dusted with confectioners’ sugar. ● Serves 6 to 8
