Pineapple Ricotta Pie- Italian Style image

This is another Italian Easter favorite. Nice, but not too sweet. I buy two frozen Pie crusts and use one for the pie and the other I remove and flatten out, to cut into strips and make lattice pattern on top. Delicious! Enjoy!

This is the best pineapple ricotta pie I've ever had! The ricotta filling is so smooth and creamy, and the pineapple adds a nice tartness. The crust is also very flaky and buttery.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out terrible. The crust was burnt and the filling was curdled.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out right. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.
