This is one of my family's holiday favorite. I make this pie recipe for Thanksgiving, Christmas and of course Easter. When I make it my kids can't wait till after dinner so they can have a piece. I will try to make soon the Easter Cassateddi in which are mini ricotta pies that my grandmother used to make for us grandchildren, that is one of my childhood favorite sweets for Easter. Read more I couldn't wait when my grandmother would make them. So here is my recipe for the Cassata (Ricotta Pie). See less

How to make it
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees
