Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

5 tablespoons butter

1 egg

For the Filling:

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups ricotta cheese

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1/3 cup raisins

1/3 cup ground blanched almonds

1 tablespoon grated lemon rind

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F. In a medium bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in egg; knead ust until smooth, about 2 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir in ricotta, eggs, raisins, almonds and lemon rind; mix well.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Fit crust into a greased 8-inch springform pan. Trim excess dough. Gather trimmings into a ball; set aside. Pour filling into crust.

Roll out reserved dough trimmings 1/8 inch thick; cut into ten 1/2-inch strips. Arrange strips in a crisscross pattern over filling. Trim strips flush with the side of pan. Bake pie for 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before removing pan side. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
