I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I loved this pie. The filling was light and fluffy, and the crust was perfectly flaky. I would definitely make this pie again.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese. It's also a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it the day before and just pop it in the oven when you're ready to serve.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown. I think I may have needed to bake it for a little longer.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
