 Rose (Florida) says:
I have made this pie quite often and this is a very good recipe, with only the perfectly needed ingredients. Glad to not see garlic included as it is not for sweet ricotta and nutmeg! I have also used my own pie crust recipe, blind baking @ 425°F for about 15 minutes. Either way - Perfect!
