Best Pineapple Ricotta Pie Italian Style Recipes
RICOTTA PIE (OLD ITALIAN RECIPE)
This is an old Italian recipe for a pie with a sweet crust--just like from the old country. My in-laws are Italian and they say that this is the best pie. It is always requested for Christmas. Mini chocolate bits and lemon rind can be mixed into the batter.

Steps:
- Beat the 12 eggs, 2 cups sugar and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in the ricotta cheese and the chocolate chips, if using (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and 1 cup sugar together. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 4 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Divide dough into 4 balls, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two deep-dish pie plates.
- Roll out 2 of the balls to fit into the pie pans. Do not make the crust too thick, as it will expand during cooking. Do not flute the edges of the dough. Roll out the other 2 balls of dough and cut each into 8 narrow strips for the top of the crust. (Alternately, you can use cookie cutters and place the cutouts on the top of the pies.)
- Pour the ricotta filling evenly into the pie crusts. Top each pie with 8 narrow strips of dough or cookie cut-outs. Brush top of pie with milk for shine, if desired. Place foil on the edge of crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes; remove foil. Rotate pies on the rack so they will bake evenly. Continue to bake until a knife inserted in the center of each pie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks. Refrigerate until serving.

ITALIAN RICE PIE I
This recipe was acquired by myself from a friend in 1986. It is originally from Naples, Italy. Italian Rice Pie is a tradition for my family on Easter. When I was young, the week prior to Easter was one full of activity in the kitchen. My mother and her sisters would prepare all the food in advance which was then laid out on the table Saturday morning. The local parish priest would come and bless the food for all to enjoy on Easter Sunday after mass!

RICOTTA PIE WITH PINEAPPLE TOPPING
Taken from the "Sopranos Cookbook" Plan ahead this pie needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours before serving. This pie is nothing short of amazing! The pineapple topping can be doubled and used for topping cheesecakes as well.

FRESH PINEAPPLE RICOTTA PIE
A creamy pineapple pie in an almond cookie crust. Cook time does not include freezer time. I used drained, canned pineapple packed in light syrup rather than fresh. Can't wait to try it again as written. Recipe credit - Family Circle July 12, 2005 issue. I classified this as both Italian & Hawaiian since it seems to cross cultural lines. How about Haw-talian? ;-)

ITALIAN RICOTTA PIE
This is an old Italian recipe that is usually made for the holidays, particularly for Easter, but is good any time of the year. Note that baking time is actually 1 hour and 20 minutes. When I enter that in the cook time, it comes out as a crazy fraction.
