Italian Easter Rice Pie

Preheat oven to 350F.

Mix the ricotta, sugar and eggs. Add the remaining ingredients. Pour into the pie crust and bake for around 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

To prepare the crust, cut flour into fat until crumbly, but not an even meal. Mix with water little by little, until it reaches the appropriate consistency. Roll out on a floured board.

Note that this pie crust recipe will make a top crust and a bottom crust. You only need a bottom crust for this particular pie, so you can refrigerate or freeze the remainder.
