PIZZAGAINA
Pizzagaina is Italian Easter pie. A very traditional savory dish that is a much-anticipated treat for Easter. It can be quite an undertaking to prepare, but I've got a simplified recipe here that the Italian Nonnis may curse me for but tastes great!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust each into the bottom of two 9-inch pie pans.
- Mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and eggs together in a large bowl. Roughly chop the pepperoni, sweet capicola and hot capicola; fold in chopped meats. Spoon half the mixture into each of the 2 prepared pie pans.
- Top each pie with a pie crust, crimping the edges together creating a seal. Brush the top of each pie with egg white.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

[email protected]I thought this recipe was pretty good. The eggplant was tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found it to be a bit too greasy. I would probably try it again with a different type of cheese.
