    If you look at the picture I took for the “Pastiera” they resemble each other !

    It was weird that flipping through a recipe book I came across this recipe. It is certainly easier than the Pastiera and it takes you little less time but its flavour is so delicate and tasty that you have to try it!

    You have to prepare the short pastry but if you don’t have time you can use a ready-made pastry.

    For the Short Pastry:

    All Purpose Flour: 250 gr.

    Butter: 100 gr.

    Sugar: 150 gr.

    Eggs: 2

    Lemon: 1

    Salt

    For the filling:

    Ewe Ricotta cheese: 200 gr.

    Sugar: 80 gr.

    Eggs: 2

    Lemon: 1

    Pine nuts: 50 gr.

    Vanillin: 1 sachet

    Icing sugar
